Q: emac no pic
My emac g4-1.25gh-80gig-superdrive-56k-220v that i got of hard rubbish starts up without a chime and the light at the front of the computer does not come on and there is no pic but the ports work and the fan goes when i turn it on. Since i got it of hard rubbish i don't have a apple keybord and mouse i'm useing a logitech wireles keybord and mouse and i have no re install disks or an lepord or tiger or others disk that sports the g4 proseser.

Hi, about all you can do without more Discs is...
Does it Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup)?
Does it boot into any of these modes?
Target mode...

Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
(Space between fsck AND -fy important).
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

We might get clues with verbose mode...
