I have my hands on an iBook 300 Blueberry that was running fine. Then it started to shut down randomly. I checked the battery and the AC Adapter and they checked out. Now it will not boot at all. When I power it on, I hear the HD spin, but that is it. It does this when using just the battery or the AC Adapter. Any ideas as to what I should try first?
Sounds like an intermittent connection. The most obvious candidate is simply to remove and reinstall any installed RAM expansion card. But it could easily be an opened via or bad solder joint anywhere in the system.
