I have lost my trusty 1.25GHz G4 eMac. It appears the power supply snuffed it...
I have salvaged all I could from it...

I think the same has happened to me : / though I had nothing very important on it. Tried replacing the HD (which is a mission) put it back together and now it wont even turn on.... Checked all the connections but nope.. My guess is it has shorted out, damn.

Probably the power supply capacitors need to be replaced. Good luck.

I feel for you, i remember when i got my 350mhz imac g3 (For free 
), in mint condition, first thing i did was try to boot 10.3 on it without updating the firmware, wouldn't boot after that, luckily i managed to salvage it by updating the firmware via vnc

I once had a suddenly not starting Titanium. We found out that the motherboard/logic board had to be replaced. Probably the processor was damaged but with newer Macs everything including processors is on the motherboard/logic board so for every little damage you have to replace the entire motherboard/logic board! Thank you Steve Jobs!

Sorry for your loss Macmeister! You sure have other machines where you could connect the eMac's ATA100 to for rcovery.
Some people re-cap their old Macs, but I do not know if this was already done with "new ones" like yours.
