Well yes, a drop from a hight is not good. The screen is smashed, and the hdd ruined so i am auctioning it off for parts. Other then the ram, wan card, and battery. What else can i salvage?
When i hook it to an external screen, it has massive artifacts and red lines down it, there is no red in the image, what would cause that?

unseated graphics card probably, on ebay you can sell every single part of the damn thing for money if you want, some more than others.

Sell it to iFixit. They'll give you a quote for it.

I have a G4. I really wish they were made with a bit higher quality materials. Plastic just doesn't work that great for laptops. At least the new ones are all made of metal.
The new RAM I put in works great. I didn't realize it had 256mb builtin on the mobo, I thought when I swapped out the original slotted RAM for a 512mb module it would tell me 512mb RAM, but to my surprise I booted and had 768mb!
It looks like I had the 2 problems reversed: the freezing whenever I moved the laptop was caused by bad RAM. Now that I've replaced it I can walk around with it again! Woot. But it still freezes when it gets a bit toasty, like when I'm compiling something big, and sometimes it freezes for the strangest things, like Youtube. Two fresh system installs didn't fix this, so methinks there's a hardware problem somewhere. Gah. The dvd drive is shot to hell too. If only I hadn't dropped it.
