Hello,
I'm cleaning the office, because were getting ready to move. I found 2 old G3 Laptops. They have not be turned on for at least 2 years. I can't seem to get them to boot up, or make any noise for that matter. I tried a known good PB Adapter, and 2 good batteries. Both Laptops have all the original components installed. IS there something else I should try, or are these PowerBooks Deader than a doornail.
Which G3 laptop? If it says "G3 PowerBook" but not "G3 PowerBook Series" then it's an original G3, AKA Kanga, AKA 3500. If it does say "G3 PowerBook Series" then you need to let us know what ports (ADB, SCSI, USB, FW) it has to identify it further. As others have said, let it sit plugged in overnight and then try to start it (without the batteries inserted).
