Recently, I had a power surge at my house. The one mistake I made was not plugging my G4 into a power-surge protector. Now when I try to boot up the computer, the light turns on but the computer does not boot! HELP ME!

Uhh... if it's been hit by a power spike... take it to get fixed?
Before you take it to be repaired, try resetting the motherboard with the CUDA switch. It is a small red (sometimes grey) push button switch on the board. Press and hold it for a few seconds, then try powering up.
This has helped me a few times (but not everytime) for a surged computer, especially if the light turns on...

Thanks dude. The button worked. You saved me so much money! I owe you one!
No problem... it's always easier to do it yourself, rather than pay out the rear to have someone else do it.
I know, I'm a Mac tech and it can get expensive for people.
