please help. ok i woke up this morning and tried to turn on my powerbook. i got the little clicking sound it always gives, but never the startup chime, and ne3ver anything on the screen. if i pushed it agian, nothing would happen. but i would have to hold itr down to get it to shutdown. i tried again, but the same thing happened, it doesn't get far enough in the boot sequence for me to run any type of commands.....i really need help and please dear lord don't tell me my powerbook is fried
 
ok, wait, i took out the battery for a couple minutes, then put it back in and it started up fine. i recently dropped it, so i don't know if this issue has something to do with that. i'd still really like to know what went wrong, and why.
