I have a m5521 that I picked up, but wont power on. I noticed in the panel on the bottom of this machine, there are some slots which look like they should hold RAM, but both slots are empty. Did someone pilfer the RAM? Does this machine require this RAM to power on?
Im a Windows guy, and I know these questions probably seem silly to you Mac/Linyx guys. But any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Your G3 iMac does need memory in at least one slot. Each slot can take as much as 512MB PC-133 SDRAM
It cannot boot with no memory.
I can't tell you if someone stole the memory, but you got a bad deal....
Typically, I remove memory from iMacs that are dead. Really not worth repairing.
If you plug power in, and try the power button, does anything happen, even just the power button flashing, or several beeps, OR nothing, no sounds, no other noises?
If nothing, then I think you have just that, nothing...
