[QUOTE="Jamie-Jamie, post: 1012079, member: 145611"] Yes! A dead battery will prevent some Macintoshes from booting. Can you say what model of G4 it is? Here are a few ways to ID them! "Yikes!" is dark slate gray and has a PCI video card and no slot for Airport. "Sawtooth" is the same dark gray and has AGP video and an Airport slot. "Digital Audio" is the same dark gray color, but its expansion slots will be on the UPPER HALF of the case when you look at the rear. "Quicksilver" is light gray with two pill-shaped slots on the front and a big obvious speaker that many people mistake for a power button. "Mirrored Drive Doors" is obvious. It has a chrome plate on the front where the twin optical drives sit. It has four air holes in the bottom. [/QUOTE]
