| I would be willing to bet a small but significant amount of money that the "clock battery" in your G4 is dead. Everything you've described sounds like symptoms of that.
The clock battery is a wee little battery you'll find inside your Mac somewhere on the motherboard. It is a 3.6 Volt, approximately $6 battery that can be found at most any Radio Shack. Replace it and boot up.
