I have a 2001 PowerMac G4 Quicksilver with the 800mhz dual core processor. My brother tried to install more ram into it, but he had put one stick backwards halfway in the slot and now it wont boot. When I hit the power button, the power button glows and the fans kick on but only for a second or two before they shut off. I have already tried resetting the PMU with no luck. Ive made sure that all the cords are properly installed, and I have tried removing hardware to isolate the problem with no luck. I have tried using known good ram in different slots with no luck also. The one thing i did notice was the red LED on the motherboard is now very dim when I push the power button. I believe either the logic board is bad, or the cpu is bad, but I'm not 100% sure. The battery on the logic board COULD be bad, but the system worked completely fine before this incident. Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
