indeed it was black - thanks so much for the tip Geoffrey!
All appears to be A OK now - though I am reminded of the need for

What exactly is that little button and any ideas what had occurred

That button is the CUDA reset kind of like a master PRAM reset
from apple knowledge base:

The Cuda is a microcontroller chip on the Power Macintosh G4 (PCI
Graphics) logic board. Whenever you have a Power Macintosh G4 (PCI
Graphics) computer that fails to power up, you should follow this
procedure before replacing any modules. This article explains how to
reset the Cuda chip on the Power Mac G4 (PCI Graphics).
