Hello, I recently got a broken PowerBook G4 1.67GHz High Res model off eBay in a lot of 2 laptops (other was a MacBook Pro mid-2007 - was a good deal)
It was missing it's TP/KB/Palmrest thing ( what do you call that?), RAM, HDD, Disc Drive, and CMOS battery. No big deal, I had a 1.5ghz parts machine! It would be an easy fix, right?
The description said it wouldn't power on due to "No RAM" I thought, of course a computer won't turn on fully without RAM. so I went for it.
When I got it, I plugged it in (using a 45W charger, too low?) and the light went to green, then amber (battery is cooked so it won't charge) but pressing the power button using a TP/KB/Palmrest I took from a 1.5ghz model I had yielded nothing. Nothing at all, no disc drive noise, no HDD noise, no fan noise, no display, no beeps.
I looked at the logic board and I don't see any noticeable damage. I'm pretty much at a loss here. Any ideas?
