Hi there
I got my powerbook 165 second hand and the fuse had already been blown. Didn't come with a PSU. So after several computer fair, i found one that gave out the proper voltage. Was a difficult one to find, i can tell you.
I didn't find out about the fuse until i'd bought a new battery and discovered that while it said it was fully charged. It wouldn't actually run off the battery. Hmm me thought "This might be a problem!"
Any how i thought might little post might come in handy for anyone, like me. Who was having this problem and looking for a solution. BTW thanks for all of you who emailed me privately. Nice to know there are so many helpful people out there..

This reminds me, too, that there's another, separate issue with the color
1xx PBs (the 165c/180c). They need a 24 watt adaptor, to start up with their
color screens. If you use an earlier adaptor, you can start up with a
charged batt in, but not just the adaptor. (I discovered this with my 165c
and a M5651 adaptor, which came, I believe, with the grayscale PB 1xx's.) To
quote the troubleshooting section of Apple's repair manual:
<< Power Computer won't start with battery removed or with depleted battery 1 Make sure AC adapter is 24-watt. 2 Make sure battery is charged. 3 Replace AC adapter.
The 180c powers on, then powers off when screen lights up 1 Make sure AC adapter is 24-watt. ("24W" should be imprinted on the adapter. Or, check the model number, which should be M5652). If it's not a 24-watt adapter, replace it
