    First, this should belong in the genuis bar. does the G3 attempt to turn on. Do you hear the HD trying to spin? If nothing its probably dead. Take it to your local apple store. If they can't fix it get the G5.

    Kinda like your PB fan question? Pot. Kettle. Black.



    *Ahem, I digress...





    Sounds like a power suppy problem. (If you see no lights at all.) If you hear a fan spin up but get nothing, you could be looking at motherboard issues... If you get a screen with nothing but endless startup, it could be a hard drive. Hard to say really.
