Try to reset the power manager unit.
This is your safest bet.
If that fails, something deeper is wrong (motherboard?)

Hi Listers
A blue and white G3 iMac, about 4 years old, previously working quite
normally, now refuses to start up and is displaying the following
symptoms:
No sound on pressing button to startup, sometimes a quiet tick,
tick, tick
can be heard but not every time. No chimes of death or anything
like that.
No screen raster.
Holding the startup button for about 30 seconds with cause the
light in the
button to flash once, then the machine returns to its 'dead' state.
Any ideas?
TIA
Nick
