Suddenly my Blue & White G3 doesn´t start, there is no noise at all, once the G3 is opened, you can check how the fan tries to move but no more, I took a little video where you can check the moboard lights while you press the front start buttom.

Is it dead?

See if the PRAM battery on the motherboard is dead or not. You may also have to reset the motherboard. Couldn't find an article but I believe MacAddict covered this a couple months ago.

The article mentioned below shows the Power Mac G4 "Quicksilver" but the concept is the same:

Battery part numbers:

We've been having to replace the system/PRAM battery on the Blue and White G3s still in operatiion in the office. I replaced the one in my computer in January.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I had tried it, but no luck actually.

OK, after read this Apple K info the issue seems to be the power supply unit.
