I have a beige G3 tower. Set it aside for a month while I played with an old Sun workstation. Now I want to use the Mac again, but it won't power up. No sound, no green lights, fan doesn't spin, nothing. I've tried a new keyboard, I've replaced the PROM battery, I've checked the fuse in the power supply, I've reseatted the ram and the cables. I swapped hard drives.
