I can't find the reset button on my G4 1.25 Powerbook

My computer will not turn on and I think reseting the laptop should do the trick....please help!

We need more information if you want anyone to be able to help you. What do you mean you can't find the rest? Do you mean reset? Please give a setp-by-step description of what isn't working, otherwise I'm not sure anyone will be able to help you.

search for resetting PMU. you should be able to find what you need there.

there is not a button for that feature, it is a combination of keys on startup. if you wanna reset your entire PB, just hold down the power button until it shuts off.

Firstly I would be connecting your laptop to the power. Your machine might turn on because it has no battery life remaining to turn on. If that is not the "fault" I would make sure the battery is fully installed. Not sure about your model - but if you look on the bottom of a TiBook there is a button on the battery. If you push the button, hopefully some LED's will light up.

Hope it helps

press option-control-shift-power. that should reset the PMU on your model as well.

1. If the computer is on, turn it off.
2. Reset the power manager by simultaneously pressing and then releasing Shift-Control-Option-power on the keyboard. Do not press the fn (Function) key while using this combination of keystrokes.
3. Wait 5 seconds.
4. Press the power button to restart the computer.
