[QUOTE="techiesteve, post: 837407, member: 98520"] With the 17" Powerbook, the only connection between the top case you will have removed, and the logic board, is a short flex cable. This plugs into a connector under one of the two memory slots. This connector can be damaged if the cable isn't released before lifting up the top case. There is also a possibility it isn't clamped tightly. It's more likely there's a problem with the connection of the short flex cable as this carries the power switch connections. I'd eject the battery and remove memory cover, then eject the first memory chip if fitted and check out the connector. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
