Thanks, everybody, for your opinions and suggestions. It's still dead, but we've closed in on the part that's dead. I've gotten hold of another G3 tower that runs to use for swap testing. I've determined that the cpu, ram, video ram, and hard drive are good. They work in the other good G3. And the known good mother board boots up and runs in the previously dead case and power supply.
So, mystery fans, the butler did it in the pantry with the motherboard. The dead mother board acts the same in both cases: after popping out the battery and doing the reset button, the fan comes on and the keyboard lights flash when either power button is pressed, and then no further activity or blue screen. It won't do this again until I do the battery/reset dance again. -- Dan -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
