Lately I notice that the startup chime does not sound when I startup my G3.
Go to Apple tech info Library Article ID 22059 : Macintosh Startup Sequence
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=22059
"After the computer is turned on, different "managers" in the computer's read-only memory begin to function. The first is the Start Manager. It makes sure that certain hardware components on the computer's logic board are working, including the microprocessor, read-only memory, drives, ports, expansion slots, and memory (RAM).
The startup sound you hear when you turn on the computer indicates that the Start Manager has successfully completed its tests. You will also see the raster (gray desktop) on the screen, along with the pointer."
If you do not hear this chime something , as above, isn't doing its thing!
Have you tried changing the battery?
good luck
