Recently I won a quicksilver G4 Power Macintosh for a good price stated as parts. Took a chance and it does not work. Was badly taken care of seemed to have been left out in a barn as there was mouse stuff inside of it. Literally took the whole thing apart and cleaned everything. Here's the issue, the motherboard didn't seem to see any memory at all, no matter what stick I threw into it and I tried about 10. All stating that were bad and gave either a single beep tone or sometimes gave three beep tones with a flashing power light. Washed the motherboard and processor with a tooth brush and rubbing alcohol and now it does nothing. Just produces a light at first that fades away. Machine is a 933mhz quicksilver with a super drive and 80gig HDD. Never had a Macintosh machine that did this. Anyone else ever have a similar issue? Any advice is appreciated.
