OK, it's working--I had already replace the PRAM battery, bushed the PMU button, etc. with no change. Luckily I had a duplicate G4 just in case I found myself in this situation. After watching a couple Youtube videos, I tested the "spare" computer. It started up. So I removed the power supply and put it into the "good" computer. Now it works fine. So it was the power supply.
I'll add a suggestion to those who make videos: it took me two days and probably 6-7 hours to do this, and Ive drew blood about 4-5 places. Why? Because the videos assume you know stuff--and if I knew stuff, I wouldn't have to watch the video!!! Like what? Well, screws are pretty obvious. Getting to them is another matter. Then there are always some sort of hooks/brackets on the back of all the cages, power supply, etc. etc. Which way to they go? Do you push up, left, right, or down to release them from the hooks/brackets? On on the drive cages there is a white lever you have to push to release them. None of the videos dealt with any of this, so it took me forever with trial and error. Yes, if you replace power supplies or drives every day it's "obvious," but someone like me who deals with this sort of thing every 5-6 years is clueless. PLEASE--if you make a video, make it for people like me!
