[NTLK] [OT] PowerBook G3 no boot issue

[Kate Brooks]

Hi Scott, I had the exact same experience dusting off my old 
Wallstreet.... the green light blinks but the power button just 
triggers the fan and a kind of vroom sound but no boot. I removed the 
dead battery and booted fine from the power supply only -- putting 
the battery back causes it to fail again.

So a new battery will likely do the trick unless there's a problem 
with the wiring ... in the meantime just remove the old battery and 
boot using the power supply with an empty battery bay...

good luck,

Kate
