Hmmmm !
I don't think it will be the same as the LC575 . They would have
needed a battery.
I suspect the beige G3 would be similar to the 7600 series , who do
not need a battery to start .
Sitting for some time suggests to me that the Hard drive may have
frozen .
Sometimes a light tap on the drive may shift it !
Have you tried to start from a system CD ?
Will the tray open and shut ? Think they use a tray !
Get the CD in and do the power reset three finger trick , and hold
down the C key !
I will have to check back on my stack of 7600 to see if they still
start ... anybody want one ?

I have had a beige G3 resting in a storeroom for a few months.
Today I decided to crank it up and ready it for a friend. Dead!
Not a click...nothin!
I checked the battery...3,6v...good. I reset the cuda...still
nothing. Re-seated the RAM...still nothing. I tried removing
individual sticks of RAM...nothing.
Is this the same problem with the 9 LC 575s we installed in Bali??
They wouldn't start after being in a storeroom for a year or so.
I think I have read that LC575s will not start with a dead battery???
Any ideas from the list?
TIA
