I have a beige G3 desktop that had some startup problems today, and before I do anything serious, I wanted to check with the list.
Hitting the power key on keyboard did nothing. Hitting the button on the Mac at first did nothing, then after a few tries you could hear an electrical click from inside the machine and the lights on the keyboard would flash once and then nothing. After a few more tries, it did finally start up. I am guessing the pram battery, HOWEVER, all normal indications of a bad pram (date and time, menu flashing, etc) are normal- it has the correct date, etc. Is this just a different way for a bad pram battery to manifest itself, or are there deeper issues here?
