Hard drive and Optical drive power on, but nothing else?
I recently followed the step by step guide on how to replace the optical drive in my G4. Everything went perfectly, except for when I put everything back together and tried to start the computer. The ac adapter light is green, and when the power button is pressed the optical drive and hard drive start up. The keyboard lights also work. Aside from that, the computer stays dormant. The white light in front doesn't come on, and the computer remains in this state until the power button is held for 10 seconds, at which point you can do the whole fun cycle all over again!! Any suggestions?
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

I would like to thank all of you for your help. I am going to try a few more things; including checking the optical ribbon cable and starting in target mode, before I call it quits. I spoke with someone from apple once again and they told me that unfortunately this sounds like a textbook logic board failure. I'm not going to give up just yet, so any further ideas are greatly appreciated. Once again thanks for all the help.
