I had a similar problem with an old G3 600, the power light would come on and then stop. As I was disassembling it to remove the hard drive I tried powering up while holding in the programmers button and it worked. It's the recessed button on the side just to the rear of the restart button.
It powered into dos and after a few attempts it powered into standard mode. The video eventually died completely but that kept it alive for a few extra months. Good luck!
PS: If that should work for you don't shut down or you'll have the same problem, if you get it up use sleep mode to work around the issue.
