I received an old powerbook from a friend today and i plugged it all in and everything and the power adapter in the back and the ring lit up orange but when i went to turn it on nothing happened at all i didnt hear anything inside, it just didnt turn on. i really want to find the problem and/or fix it up.... I dont want to part with it as i need an extra laptop... All the help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks in advance:apple::apple:
 
Maybe let it charge for awhile. Depending on how long it's been discharged, it could take a few minutes for it to gain enough power to actually boot?
 
earlier today i let it charge for about an hour and the lights on the batter didnt even light up afterwards so i dont know if i cant get it working i will prolly send it out to be repaired.. anybody know a good place that fast and cheap to repair this laptop??:apple::apple:
 
Depending on the age it may not be worth it. From what you've described it sounds like a Titanium Powerbook G4 (plugged into back, glowing ring), and fixing those up is starting to become pricy.
