Hi.
I bought a G4 Cube from the bay a while ago, and it currently has some issues maybe you guys can help me with.
The Cube is pretty much a stock one, and all it does is:
It powers on and shows the apple boot logo / plays the bong and even starts to load the OS. All ok up to here right?
Thing is, as soon as I plug or unplug something on the (only working) USB port, it restarts. The other USB port is damaged (!!!!). If I turn it on with something already plugged in, it works, but it seems that the USB port hasn't got enough power to deal with a HUB, a keyboard and a mouse, so I can't really install a new OS onto it.
Should I remove the damaged usb port? I heard somethign about a power board going rogue as well? Help!
