Hi Jonny,
If you can, try to start it up in a quiet room and listen for tell-tale signs.
When it starts up, is there a sound? The characteristic Apple chime? If not,
then capacitors may have failed o the logic board causing the audio circuit not
to work. Assuming those caps have failed, others are just as likely to have
failed as well. If you don't feel up to the task yourself, contact Charles by
email rec...@maccaps.com.
Also, when it starts up, you should hold your head close to the keyboard and
listen for a tell-tale spinning noise or whine. Thats the hard drive spinning
up. Again, if there is no sound, then its likely the hard drive has become
stuck or failed.
You could also listen carefully to hear if there is a spinning noise, is it
smooth or does it sound like a series of one or more clicks. If the spinning
and click/clicks is regular, it's likely a hard drive failure. For example Spin
- click - spin - click or spin - click-click - spin - click-click, or even just
clickety-clickety.
I had my hands on two duos at one time, and the docking bays but I fell ill and
my boss dumped them maliciously. They were ahead of their time. The MacBook Air
of their day.
Hope you get to the bottom of this.
Regards,
Keith

Hello, I recently found my old PowerBook duo 230.
When I turn it on mac logo appears, but then it gave me an error (000000f and
00000001) with the sad mac face.I already tried to boot it with different keys
combination (pram reset, power manager reset, shif key for boot without
extensions) but nothing.I didn't understand if it's hardware or software
problem.Any suggestion?
Thank you :)
