I recently bought a 15" PowerBook G4 867 after my 12" died. The machine eventually boots, but it can be an adventure getting there. Sometimes I get no startup chime and no display and it does not boot. Sometimes I get half a startup chime and no boot. Sometimes I get a garbled startup chime and it boots. Sometimes I get no startup chime and it boots. Once it boots, it runs fine. I usually have to remove the battery and try booting with just the power adapter so I can drain the power before trying again.
When I first got it, I had the same issues. I changed the amount of RAM and reset the PRAM three times. I also used the reset button under the keyboard with no power to the machine.
Any ideas what could cause this?
