Can you get it to Open firmware? Its Apple option and o and f, if it freezes there then most likely the logic board has had it. Do you have the hardware test cd? Try booting off it and see what happens.
The eMac is G4 only. You need to find an OS Disc or the Software Restore/Install disc, reboot holding down 'C' then run Disc Utility to see if there are any problems with the drive. If the HD didn't work, you would see a folder with a question mark.

cheers for the helpful replies.
it wont open firmware, it just locks up. I also tried pushing C, nothing, it just "locks" up. i believe the logic board has gone too.
thanks.. time for a new mac anyway, this one is yonks old (it aint mine, its a clients)
