Battery does not appear to ahve leaked but is planned to be replaced.
I was unaware of having to press a key to boot to cd. Ill give it a
go.
Thanks for the quick response.

Going from memory you need to press ?C? to boot
from CD and you might also need to replace the PRAM battery.
I'll second the bit about the PRAM battery. I've got one of these
beige G3 boxes and can affirm that a failing PRAM battery can create all
sorts of strange havoc, including not powering on at all.
Note that said battery is 3.6V, so a CR2032 won't do it.
