So the power supply does spin up, right? If that's the case, then you
can rule out the NVRAM battery. I've always found power supplies capable
of the strangest things, myself. I've had more than one PC where it
would NOT turn on and only after leaving the machine alone for a few hours,
would it turn on and work. I've had similar wierdness with my PowerWave,
where it would boot (apparently) but there was nothing going to the
video. A hard reset cured it.
You can see video and it's just the blinking ? over the Mac
icon over and over?
