Power Mac G4 won't turn on

My Sawtooth won't turn on! I have replaced every component other than the logic board and power supply with spares. When I press the power button, nothing happens. Is it the logic board, power supply, or something else? 🙁

Maybe the button is faulty?

look up the pins (or you could just run a screw driver over the pins) where the button connectors connect to the board and try starting it that way.

I reseated everything one last time, and it turns on now! :scrambled:
