iMac won't turn on!

[sjpetry]

Hi everybody,

In the past when I would turn off my first generation iMac G5 I would sometimes have problems turning it back on. Usually it would be able to turn the computer on after 5 minutes or sometimes as long as 12 hours.

Well last night, the power went out and since then I haven't been able to turn it back on. This was over 18 hours ago. I am worried that it'll never turn on again... Does anyone know what the cause of this is? And no,I don't have AppleCare.

Please help me. Thanks

Yes after looking at that site the Mac does indeed fall under that category. Thank you
