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.
All those symptoms suggest a dead 1/2 AA battery. G4 machines certainly
behave like this,
and for such a small cost, it's got to be worth a shot.
