Power Mac G4 (Gigabit Ethernet) won't power on
I can't get the PMac G4 Gigabit that I use to run older software to power on. The last time I used it, everything appreared to be fine. Any suggestions?
PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
When was the last time you used it and has it remained plugged into AC power?
First try a PMU reset See How to reset the SMU/PMU on a Power Mac Earlier G3, G4, G5 models...

Your internal PRAM battery may be weak or discharged. Suggest you replace the battery. Check this site for battery part numbers and sources. https://sites.google.com/site/macpram/mac-pram-nvram-cuda-pmu-battery-tutorialMac PRAM, NVRAM, CUDA/PMU & Battery Tutorial
