Downloaded wrong (G5) v. of TFF, Ten4Fx, eMac won't come back on...

My eMac quit a month or so ago and I sent it to some of the students at UCAB for first aid. They pronounced it dead. Kids! My son took it apart and thoroughly cleaned it. (Hadn't been cleaned since I bought it in 2003, a rebuild. It, of course, was filthy.) It started up and went like magic. Then.....I downloaded the wrong FFF and after some lengthy attempts and lots of research realized I was working as though it was on my G5 not my eMac. Pshaw! by then it had locked up and wouldn't recognize my mouse nor would it force quit so (dumb me) I shut it down. Now it won't start. New battery, worked like a charm, like new, faster than it had been for years. 😢


Is there any hope? I love that little jewel!
