I have a PB G4 that is dead. I think the HD is shot because the computer won't start up at all (I get the flashing question mark icon). I could not reboot the computer even after I found the disk. It appeared to me that the HD was recognized but it had an 'exclamation' mark over it in the icon. I dropped it off at my local independant Mac store so that they could have a look at it. If the HD is indeed screwed up, how much should I expect them to give me if I decide to sell it? I just don't want to be taken advantage of because I don't really know the value of used computers. Could anyone give me an idea? Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

If it's just the hard drive, why not replace it? Even if you still decide to sell, you will get much more for a functioning mac.
Ok thanks, you had already posted as I was typing out that question. So how much is a HD. Are there any websites you would suggest to price them around?
I just bought one on ifixit.com and you can look up which model computer you have. Real easy through the website!
Enjoy!
