I have an Icebook (700Mhz or so iBook G3) that's mostly dead; 90% of the time,
you push the power button, and nothing happens. (No fans, no lights, no sounds,
like you didn't press it at all) but occasionally it'll boot just fine, and run
until I shut it down. I know these had the graphics chip problem, but this
doesn't sound like that. Any ideas?
I have tried re-soldering a couple of chips on the mobo, using only power
adapter, using only known good battery, resetting PMU, PRAM. Is there anything
that tends to go out on these that causes this? I've done some googling, but
all I can find is the graphics chip issue.
