Have you tried removing the battery, and mains for about 10 minutes, then plugging the mains in (the green light above the screen may well glow at any point here) and holding down the reset button on the back for about 20 secs. Then, if it hasn't booted already, try the power button. I had one that did this and the dead battery must have been draining the power from something. Also, if this fails, try removing the PRAM battery and repeating the above (poss a small chance removing this might destroy the motherboard?? but then i'd guess its dead already if it doesn't work). They can be hard to restart if they've been stored for a while. > Well, my 5300cs has 16M on the motherboard, yeah, i think its the later 5300cs and 5300cs's that have this. My 5300cs has 16Mb onboard.
