Hi, Try the old PMU reset: unplug the AC cable, remove the battery, hold reset for 10-20 sec., repeat a few times, reinsert battery, boot using reset. Failing which, open up the 'Book to disconnect the PRAM battery.
My 3400 is still working after a harrowing experience when it wouldn't boot internally (neither HDD nor CD). It took me two months to get it working. (There were some weird drivers and other stuff on the HDD.) If you have the original install disks (floppies or CD), use those to 'clean the deck' if nec. To back up SW, boot externally first using SCSI. I think if you didn't disconnect the internal PRAM battery, it may have caused this problem.
