Hi All.
I can't get my S900 to start up. The monitor comes on but there is no
start
up chime or anything else. It has a G3 upgrade, an IDE drive. I
took out all
the other cards and thought that it would start up from an external
scci.
There is lots of ram and I can't think of anything that would cause
this to
happen. Any suggestions?
If the other excellent suggestions you have received do not solve the
problem, it may be that your power supply has expired from old age.

Very good point. That's probably the simplest thing to test as well.
Turn the computer on and listen for the fans. If you're getting any
power those will always come on, even if nothing else works. If no
fans, not even the power supply's internal fan comes on then power
supply is dead; if the fans do start running, then go ahead and check
everything else.
