This was a remedy given to me to rescue a dead Blue & White revision 2. See if this helps in your case:
....................................... Resetting the logic board can resolve many system problems (see the Symptom/Cure tables for examples). Whenever you have a unit that fails to power up, you should follow this procedure before replacing any modules. 1. Unplug the computer. 2. Press the Power On button on the front of the unit. 3. Open the side access panel. 4. Remove the battery from the logic board. 5. Wait at least 10 minutes before replacing the battery. 6. Make sure the battery is installed in the correct +/- direction. 7. Reassemble the computer and test the unit. Note: This procedure resets the computer�s PRAM. Be sure to check the computer�s time/date and other system parameter settings afterwards. .......................................
I sure hope the above fixes your problem, if not it looks like the processor or LB is kaput.

Hi all,
I found an old block of memory from my past and it LOOKED like it would fit in my G4 733. I put it in, but it would not power up. Now, even after removing it all that happens is the power light comes up and it immediately dies, no chimes, no nuthin'!
Have I fried the machine? I tried to reset the pram withou success. Any help would be most appreciated!
Thanks in Advance, Karen
