Will it work with the battery removed?
Several times, I've seen PowerBooks fail to work when the battery was DEAD.
I've seen a "dead" Duo work without the battery installed, and then crap
out when the DEAD battery was inserted.
So..... make sure you have a known good battery. Borrow one.

btw- if you need a 1400 service manual let me know.
