[QUOTE="amw_drizz, post: 806851, member: 87949"] This may or may not apply to the OP, When I got my Power Mac G4 form the college all the internal components except for the logic board, and cpu where gone from the system. After I replaced all required missing components (video card, memory) I tried turning it on and I had the same issue as you, Nothing happened. I thought well the board is bad and thats why they got ride of it. While i had it open I noticed a little button next to the PRAM battery, I did quite a few combitnations of it, held it, removed the batt, tried again. After 4 or 5 tries it came to life. I had some minor isses every now and then with it not starting but for some reason when I hit that button and the hit the power button again, it comes back to life. IDK if that helps you or not, but you can give it a try. [/QUOTE]
