Apple G4 Power Supply Woes?

Predius asks: "I, like many others based on forum hopping, have an Apple G4 desktop that has decided it no longer wishes to power up. I've replaced PRAM batteries, verified power supply voltages, pressed the CUDA switch, and done combinations of the above. Trying to start it just results in a blip of the powersupply fan and the power led on the motherboard flashes once. Every now and then it will actually boot, and when it does it's 100% rock solid, will reboot fine, etc. If I power it off, I get to play games again trying to power it up. Does anyone know how to manually start an Apple Gigabyte or later rev power supply? Standard ATX power supplies can be fired up by shorting the green PWR ON lead to ground, but Apple decided to be different. I await the collective's wisdom."

My feet produce plenty of shoe goo naturally, and that doesn't seem to help.

I looked in the sky
Where an elephant's eye
Was looking at me
From a bubblegum tree
And all that I knew
Was the hole in my shoe;
Which was letting in water,

letting in water,
letting in water...

I walked through a field
That just wasn't real with
One hundred tin soldiers
Which stood at my shoulders
And all that I knew was
The hole in my shoe;
Which was letting in water,

letting in water,
letting in water...

I climbed on the back of a giant albatross
Which flew through a crack in a cloud
To a place where happiness reigned all year round,
and music played, ever so loudly...

I started to fall
And suddenly woke
And the dew on the grass
Had soaked through my coat
And all that I knew was
The hole in my shoe;
Which was letting in water,

letting in water,
letting in water...
