Hey all, I recently moved and when I setup my machines, my Sawtooth G4 refused to boot up. It was confirmed working the previous night, what could have it been? I tried to keep it as safe as I could, personally carrying it on my lap between houses, gently carrying it from old place to its new spot. (It's had boot issues in the past, but usually went up in the second or third attempt and never gave me issues aside from that.)
The DVD drive works, the D55 light on the mobo lights up and HDD spins up. I changed video cards and booted with the Apple only RAM to no avail. No boot beep, yet it beeps once when I boot without any RAM.
Its a 400mHz model, with 380mb RAM so any suggestions would be very welcome.
Its the first mac I ever owned, and was very useful as an IM/FB/Video platform (yeah the latter still surprises me) so naturally I'd love to keep it chugging along
EDIT: I have tried resetting the PRAM (the one that does command shift q r or something) and pressing that button next to the battery for 2 seconds as some forums have recommended.
