My Yosemite G3 300 is failing to boot. The unit's power light comes on, the hard disk spins up, and nothing else happens. No chime, no video. I have tried everything I can. I have removed all SIMMs and replaced them with the original 64MB Apple SIMM. No joy. I have pushed the CUDA button, no joy. I have removed all PCI cards except the original RAGE 128 graphics card. I have confirmed said card's functionality in my Quicksilver G4. It works fine. I have replaced the 1/2 AA battery, but the replacement may be dead. I have no way to measure its voltage.
Should I buy a new battery, or is there anything else I can try? I have used B&W G3s with dead batteries before, so I don't know if the battery is the problem. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
