I am having power problems with a G3/500 MHz Snow iMac. When you press the power button the light goes on, but nothing else happen (no fan, no hard drive start up, etc..). What I've tried:

- Preliminary checks: used different power cord, tried different AC outlet.
- I opened the computer up and checked the PRAM battery. That was low so I replaced it with a good one. I reset the PMU according to the instructions in the Service Manual. That didn't help; the results were the same (power light turns on but nothing else happens). When I press the power butter, there is a green led indicator light on the logic board that goes on. Pressing and holding the power button will turn it off.

What do I try next? Where do I go from here?

Thanks.
