Star Max Problems

I own a motorola StarMax macintosh clone. It has a PPC processor and 80mb or ram, cd-rom 1gig hd, apple mouse/keyboard, 17" svga pc monitor, os 8.1. The machine refuses to power on. I've checked for the obvious, plugged in, wokring outlet, etc. I was wondering if there was some sort of fuse on this machine that needs to be replaced or reset. I have a lot of experience with DOS/Windows based pc's so im not afraid to work on the machine, but since i dont know exactly how to solve this problem i need some guidence before i embark on any repairs. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
