Bill,
I have the same machine only I don't have the compact flash card :)
I ran across this link when searching for stuff about my 1400.
It sounds like you have the 1400 green light coma. Here's a link that
talks
about it and gives instructions on how to fix it.

You would have to have an external keyboard and mouse hooked up to it. That
way the lid to the Powerbook would stay closed.
