You can HOPE for a fuse, but, from the PB170 (and others) service guide:
Power
Screen is blank;
computer doesn't respond:
1 Press reset switch.
2 Connect power adapter and reboot computer in 3-4 minutes.
3 Try known-good, charged main battery.
4 Check all interconnect board, daughterboard, and
motherboard connections.
5 Reset the power manager.
6 Replace keyboard.
7 Replace interconnect board.
8 Replace daughterboard.
9 Replace motherboard.
Good Luck.
Ken
Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.
