I had a quick silver do this to me.

It was a bad power supply.

Check if you can hear any arcing going on where the cable goes into the machine. If so, you PSU has had it.

Also sometimes the power cable used to work itself loose, which probably ended up killing the power supply in the first place.

Quick Silvers were known for this. Loads of dead ones on ebay with the same problem

Good luck

If the clock reset itself, it's very likely the Pram battery is gone.

You might check the polarity of the battery.

Positive to positive, negative to negative.... what else could it be?

As hard as it is to see the polarity marks on some holders, it could easily be the other way around. You probably don't have to think very long to figure out how I know.
