unplugging the machine, opening it, removing the PRAM battery, press
and hold the button nearest the battery (the one not labeled :POWER:)
This got my G3 B&W running just fine. Mine is a 400MHz rev.2 btw...
No success. I removed the PRAM battery, did hold the button for a while,
released it and powered on without the battery.
Since this didn't make it work I decided to press the button right after
powering on. When holding the button and trying to power on, nothing happens.
BTW, the other button actually IS a power button.
So, I guess I have to trash it. Too bad.
Anyway, thanks for your help.
