OK, maybe try taking the main battery out and leaving it out for a while (say 2 hours) and then plugging the system in at the mains. I'm not sure what happens but if you leave them with a very dead battery in, the green light comes on and it doesn't do much else. The flat battery may drain some circuit inside the laptop or something like that. This is exactly the problem I have had with my book, and when I took the battery out of my 'book and plugged it into the mains it came on the next time I hit reset on the back. As I forgot to mention in my other post, I think the problem is caused by a dodgy PRAM battery as my PB won't keep the time well at all unless it is plugged in and charged quite regularly, especially when it hasn't been used for a while. Also, I knew those were NiMH batteries - don't know why I typed NiCad? Maybe I shouldn't email when I've just got back home from the pub :) All the best, Josh -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
