My PowerBook 145 did that when I purchased it. It wouldn't start off Battery
of AC power.

Turns out the battery was toast and prevented it from starting up properly.
My solution was to run it with no battery and just off AC Power. Battery in,
no startup. Battery out, works great!

Give that a try, it might point you in the right direction,
