Re: Dead G3.

No, the PSU fires up.  It's giving power to all of the molex 
connectors, though I have to say that I have not checked to see if it's 
powering the logic board.

It might be worthwhile to try to zap the pram.
I would suggest zapping the pram 5  --  or more  --  times.

I have a beige G3/333 MT that just up and quit one day.
I had this problem with the same kind of computer and never could find
an answer from the Mac gurus in town so I am anxious to hear any
suggestions to fix this problem as well.
I can say that zapping the PRAM didn't help.  I tried that several
times without success.  Swapping out the vid card didn't help  either.

Clark mentioned a dead PRAM battery with the appropriate procedure.
If it's not that, Jason, my vote is that it's a dead power supply. 
When you
tried to boot up with no response, did you happen to hear little 
clicks at
first (not many maybe one or two) and then nothing at all?
Whenever I've had a unit go completely out all of a sudden as you 
describe,
it's always been the PSU.
