I have a weird problem. My iMac G3 700 mhz, 1 gb RAM won't startup. It was working fine (despite some phantom freezes which I have been trying to fiigure out) but one day after i shut down, it won't boot up. When I turn it on, the power light comes on, but it never chimes, doesn't connect to UBS or firewire devices, nothing. PLEASE HELP! I have no idea what to do, and cant boot from the cd's because the keyboard doesnt connect.
 
I was all over the apple site...no help at all. The problem was: I couldn't get into OS X to restart, and the keyboard wouldn't connect to boot from somewhere else.

I actually fixed the problem....All i did was:
-Remove the memory
-reset the memory, using the memory clear button on the motherboard
-re-insert memory
-Startup holding the power button and reset at the same time.

Magic :-)
