Hello David:
You might try unconnecting/reconnecting the hard drive cables at all
connections, same with the RAM and the video card. Do you hear drive
activity? Is the heatsink on good? Try resetting the PRAM, or just
pull the battery and reset the PRAM (leave the battery out). Let the
G4 sit for an hour or two and try starting. If that doesn't work,
disconnect the power plug for 10 seconds, replug and restart (power
supply problem). Check hard disk on known good system.
Leave PRAM battery out and system completely removed from all power
for 4 hours, then try again.
That's all for now. Good luck.
Bob

If you have another G4 Tower try swapping everything (you swapped
the video card, maybe try the hard drive next?) one at a time till it
boots up then you will know what's wrong?

Subject: PowerMac G4 Quicksilver
I have a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver that I had sitting for about a
year or
two. I went to see if it still works but it turns on but that is
all.
Do you have any suggestions on what I should check for as to why it
won't
work? As far as I remember it did work before.
