This is weird.

My pb will not turn on if there isnt something in the headphone jack, it can be a headphone, a cable or speakers... something has to be there or it just makes a weird noise where it should do the apple startup sound... something like 3 short quick clicks (like a stove when you turn on the sparks) and then it hangs showing no video or anything... just an idle spin of hte hd..

I tried it all, pmu, pram, shift, option, x,T, no batt, no extra ram, 45W and 65W power supply. no airport, no battery, muted, click , cd, you name it I treid it... I have another 12 inch and i tested both batteries and power suppies and they are equally functional

it boots normally with a headphone connected but if I take it out it stops booting and makes the click sounds or I can get it to hang if I take it out while the system is up and running... I just get an immediate screen turn-off and it stays there and nothing brings it back until I do a hard shut-down

I think the sound card is giving the problem but everything sounds fine throught the headphones.

anybody have any clue???

if you can drop me a line at vicmacs@gmail.com I would appreciate it... or through here...
