do any drives spin up? check to see if there's any power coming from the power supply or

very dead not to turn on the power supply, though it's possible. xlr8yourmac.com may have
the pinout for the power supply, in which case you can try to hot wire it to turn it on,
that's the next thing i'd try to see if the power supply or logic board were the problem
(or problems).
All right!!!!!!
I got the computer booted with a keyboard's power button.
I have a G4/350 Sawtooth, and I don't ever remember powering up this way.
Even if the front buttons are dead and this is the only way I can get the machine to start up, I don't mind
because I paid peanuts for it - (ok - expensive peanuts).
Thanks for your input Philip.
