[QUOTE="RenaissanceMan, post: 23859"] I'm a new member here, so forgive me if this forum does not include Powerbook G3s... Anyways, I can no longer boot my Powerbook. The machine will turn on, but my screen will remain off, and I will not get the bootup 'chord chime' sound. I can't boot off of a CD, etc. or off another drive... I have tried pressing the reset button on the back of the machine. No keystrokes like zapping the PRAM, etc will do anything. I have reseated the processor board. I have reseated the keyboard plug. I have removed and reinstalled the hard drive. The power supply and battery are both good. I'm really getting desperate at this point. Does anyone have any suggestions that might help me get up and running again? Thanks in advance- [/QUOTE]
