Hi all,
New to this list today, I had a friend bring me his bronze Firewire G3
You mean his Pismo :)

powerbook to repair. The thing will not boot at all. No chime, no nothing. I
opened up the keyboard and checked connections without any of it helping. I
have the power cord and the battery tests good. Any suggestions on where to
go from here?
Two possible things you can try (before you remove the processor board 
which is not so easy):

1. Is the power supply working? Try the computer with another one.

2. Unplug the power connector and remove the battery. Open up the 
keyboard and remove the backup battery which is on the lower left, below 
the hard drive (carefully unplug the white small 3 conector plug). Press 
the power button a few times and wait for a couple of minutes. Connect 
it all together again and (try to) power it up.
