I have an old PowerMac G3 I use for software testing running 10.3.9. Yesterday I was downloading/installing some security update, and the power went out. Today was the first time I went to turn it back on, and nothing happens at all when I push the power button :(. I tried a few different outlets, but nothing changes. I'm thinking the power supply might be shot, in which I can hopefully buy a cheap one, as I got the Mac for $70 :). Any other ideas?
 
Have you tried pushing the PMU reset button? That happened to me one time and that fixed it. Make sure you have all the power cord unplugged and then let it sit for about 10mins. Also is it a B&W G3 or an old beige G3.
