How do I fix my P.M. G3 B&W to turn-on?

I have a Power Macintosh G3 Blue and White and it used to turn-on. I let my 3 year old daughter use it. I guess she turn it on/off too many times repeatedly and suddenly stopped turning on. How can I fix it to turn it on again?

Try unplugging everything, press the power button for ten seconds, replug it and try to start. Replace the 3.6 volt 1/2 AA PRAM battery. Let us know your results please.

Hello!

I am also having the same problem. I did what u suggested and nothing. I opened the computer and I noticed that 1 of the plugs P5 was not connected to anything. My question is should that part be connected and if so where? Maybe that is what is causing my G3 not to power up?

Thank you.

Edie
