I want to boot from a OS 8.5 CD or a PC Card that has OS 8.6. However, the PowerNook doesn't boot anymore. I kept it plugged in 24 hours, but now it doesn't even make a noise. Could it be a bad power supply board? Something in the logic board? Should I take the Hard Drive out and rescue the files/ (The PB belongs to a Doctor who kept his patients files there.) Worst thing is, now it doesn't make a sound, doesn't boot, nothing... Now what? HDHi I have been going through this same problem.
I have a 3400c with 128mb ram battery that is good for 2hrs 6gb hdd perfect screen and it is dead when put together, If I take any part from the bad mac and put it in a know fully working 3400 it is fine ? And I mean any part even took everything from the board and put all the other bits on and it booted fine when I put the second one back together with a known good board NO GO. Every part I have checked works on one book but when the second is put together it is a no go! I have changed the psu around hdd powerboard ram ethernet card monitor cdrom ir board keyboard nothing will get two books working at the same time.
I Have no explanation for it. I did get glod for a couple of days then back to nothing. The only good thing is I know I have a complete set of spares that all work.

I didn't write the first quote. Only replied to it.
Why not go to Radio Shack or another supplier and get a spray can of electronic contact cleaner. And on every single contact pin and hole and card edge and slot spray the heck out of it scrub it with an old toothbrush and repeat this process at least twice more.
Especially anything that stays in the machine when you swap parts out.
And have you swapped parts from the working machine into the non working one?
Check cables for damage and loose contacts and pins.
If you have a continuity tester test every wire end to end.
Good Luck
