DOA iBook

[Mac MMG]

I just got a new 14" iBook today plug in the adapter Got a green glow…hit the power button…NOTHING!! :mad:

OK check the battery…seated properly still nothing!!

Any Ideas?

as you have just got it, you should call apple support..
besided that, you can probably try resetting the power manager
while the computer is switched off, Press and release shift-control-option-power simultaneously , wait for 5 second...press the power button
hope it snaps back...

well it was just that..no other problem..:D ..power manager is the intergrated circuit on the logic board, and controls I/O, sleep-wake, hard disk spin blah blah...when it gets messed up u have problems in all those aspects...so..yah..thats about all i know :)
