I have model 1052 of the G4 PB 17", with the battery in the light around the charger is orange, remove the battery and its green. However, no power to the unit. Help...

Use System Profiler.app - > Power to see status of battery. Sounds toasted.

Good Luck,

N.

MacHead3,

It won't even turn on :( I can hear the hard drive click but nothing happens.

First thing to try is a reset of the PMU. Take off the battery and disconnet the AC adapter then hold down the power switch button for at least 5 seconds then reinstall battery, connect the AC adapter and try to boot the PB.
