PowerBook power on woes yet again!

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

I just replaced the PRAM battery of a touchy PowerBook 1400cs/133, and finally see the green "power" light glowing. I decided to leave it charging overnight to let it get some power, and this morning tried powering it on. The PB doesn't seem to be responding still, and I hear no noise or anything of the sort.

All connections to the mobo are connected properly (VGA, speaker, trackpad, keyboard).

Resetting the PRAM battery doesn't seem to be making much of a difference. The green "power" light keeps glowing, even when the charger is disconnected or the battery is pulled from the PB.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this power oddity? Resetting the PRAM battery via the switch in the back isn't making much of a difference. Should I declare the PB a vegetable or brain dead and send it to the junk pile, or is there a chance of bringing it back to life?
