Hello, I bought a used Powerbook G3 PDQ (walstreet II) off ebay a week or so ago, and I received it and it doesn't power on (also there are major cracks in the screen).
The seller did include a picture of it booted to Mac OS9.2.2, but for some reason it wont power on for me, or let alone even show any life left in it (nothing happens when powered).
Does it maybe have a dead PRAM battery? There isn't much info on the internet about the PDQ model, so I can't figure out how to disassemble it. I've tried many ways to take it apart such as lift the tabs on the top row of the keyboard, no luck.
If anyone has any ideas on how I can get it powered on will be greatly appreciated
If not, I'm sending it back to the guy who sold me it (unicomri)
If anyone needs, here is the ebay listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Power...27097587?pt=Apple_Laptops&hash=item35be5dfdf3
