Just asking, Carlo, how did you increase the RAM
My iMac already has 1GB installed in it, how about getting it to work with
2GB?

It is quite possible that the solder joints are dry on the
connections. You could try resoldering them?

what is common to both busses and can it be replaced
There is no such thing as dry solder joints. They could be broken (and
so would other ICs leads), in which case re-soldering would make
sense, but the common user is hardly equipped to inspect them.
Most likely the USB controller gave the ghost.

Mystic, if you think it is not the logic board, you should find out what
else...my iMac G4 had the video chipset burnt, so I just replaced my logic
board and I am so HAYYY, and I have even increased the RAM to
the maximun readable size of 2GB.
Dennis, it looks like you have to follow
Thanks Chris...

Just asking, Carlo, how did you increase the RAM readability to 2GB? I have
an 800MHz G4 iMac that would love such an upgrade.

Thanks for your info everybody. I'm going to take it to our User Group's
Tech to open the case and see if anything can be done. Since the price
of a new logic board is a good portion of the current Mac Mini's price,
we'll probably end up just pulling the HD.

I think the logic board has to be replaced, unless you have skills with
soldiering USB buses onto logic boards. I have an iMac G4 which doesn't want
to turn on, and idk why. The logic board's not the reason, though.

You'll probably need a new motherboard (logic board) to fix this because the
USB controllers are soldered onto the motherboard.
