Hello,
My friend came to me with an issue with his powerbook 15" original ones (screws are on back to help release the screen) In anycase when power button is pressed nothing appears on the screen just fans come on. Any ideas on how to fix that? PRAM? I also think he has to do the recal for the battery as well.

My Wallstreet had a similar problem and it eventually died because of a loose power supply. However, I was able to keep it running for many months by hitting the reset sequence defined on the back of the machine next to the power cord inlet.
