Hi; I am having trouble diagnosing a problem I am having with TWO 3400c/180 motherboards...
Neither will boot. I have one screen, two Power Supply boards, two PRAM
batteries and all of the rest of the parts needed to make one complete unit, but no
matter the combination, NOTHING will make either motherboard work.
I find it hard to believe that BOTH of my PRAM batteries are bad, since I
just bought one (supposedly new) from e*a*. Same goes for my power supply boards
also; one came w/ a non-booting 3400c, the other I recently bought "in working
condition."
When a complete 3400c is put together using motherbaord "a" the green sleep light stays lit until I press the reset button. It goes off, but the Powerbook still will not start.
Do you ever get a "bong" ?
When motherboard "b" is used inside a complete 3400c assembly, I got no green light at all, ever. And still no startup.
I have the parts to make a complete 3400c w/ a RAM module and everything, save for either a media module (floppy/cd-rom), or a battery in the bay.
Please help?

Try a power manager reset. I think it involves shutting the unit down, and holding the reset button for 10-20 second, then releasing the button.
Also make sure the power board is firmly seated. Other than that, if you had more parts I would suggest swapping around.
