Re: PB1400c won't start

[Grant Baxter]

This may sound stupid, but worth a try: check the power block. I find 
that the cable that plugs into the PB1400 AC adapter (power unit) tends 
to get loose, and that is enough to stop power going through it. It 
sounds to me like either your cable has become loose, and thus the 
machine is not actually getting any power (and thus your battery is 
drained and it cannot start up), or alternatively, some element may 
have died (again, power unit sounds like the main culprit). I have a 
dead PB1400 power unit. It gets hot, and acts like it works, but it 
doesn't supply any power to the laptop. Luckily I have another.
