Caleb, did you reset the PMU? "Resetting the Power Manager PowerBook G3 Series (Bronze Keyboard)computers have a reset button located on the back of the computer behind the I/O door. Press the button once to reset the power manager."
The PMU is located (AFAIK) on the main logic board. There is a separate "Power Supply Card" (separate from the "Sound Card" which contains the power-in jack), located under the trackpad. I'm not sure exactly how (or if) its failure can lead to the symptoms you've described. *Not not-all-that-helpful advice* Really, the best thing to have in this sort of situation is a second identical complete working PowerBook. It makes things so much easier to have known-good working parts to swap in and out for testing purposes. */Not not-all-that-helpful advice* dan k -- ................................. http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 ................................. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
