Just in case this happens to your computer: My PowerCenter132/G3 refused to start up last night. Pushing the start-up button or power button - nothing; no chimes, no sign of life. Ok, I figured let's sleep on it. In the mean time visions were going through my head of repair bill that would exceed the value of the computer.
This morning, I opened the case, and stared at the innards for a while at the with the aforementioned visions getting more vivid by the moment. Two things came to mind (besides a bad power supply:) 1. A bad power supply connection to the motherboard 2. A bad connection of the CMOS (PRAM) battery to the contact clips. So I pulled the power supply connector from the motherboard. It looked fine. Put it back. Then gave the COMS battery a couple of turns. Pushed the start-up key and.....life!!!! Whatever I did, worked.
