Subject: Re: pooched iMac G5
Hasn't been moved from the desk since we got it new. Today was the first
time it's been opened to test another RAM module in it, so RAM has been
removed and re-seated twice now as has the power cord. Also after i sent
this I let it sit, no power cord for an hour or so, no change. Tried it
w/o the keyboard and mouse attached, no change(so power cord only).

Can't say for certain with the iMac G5, but I've experienced some real weird
start-up problems with G3, G4 and G5 desktop systems all because the MoBo
battery (little 3.6v half-AA battery) had expired.
As their life varies from around 2.5 to 6 years, it might be worth replacing
before you try anything more expensive...
