PB G4 1.67 wont turn on.

I have a g4 powerbook 1.67 that was dropped from about 6-10 inches onto the corner where the battery installs. Screen looks fine, corner of the computer is slightly dented, and the computer wont turn on. i have opened it up and checked all the conections and I get nothing. The battery won't charge either. Is it possible I killed the power board? its on the same side as the dent. Any other suggestions I can try? Any help would be great.

Afternoon,
I left my house yesterday and came back 3 hrs later and my computer was dead... I have no clue what happened. I have left all out for a hour or so in addition to doing the plug in / no battery w the 5 second hold.. HELP...
I took it to the genius bar and he said I had discharged a shock while replacing my hhd or my super drive( but I usually make sure I am clean / dry and i do all surgeries on my desk blotter) so his conclusion was the logic board....
any other short cuts / experiments I can do to try to power it up. I am using a friends dell...ugh to figure all out. Thank you all for your prompt help.

  • Battery wont charge and isight camera wont turn on-macbook, battery wont charge and isight camera wont turn on-macbook

    i bought a macbook from a guy and when i started it up... surprise it wont turn on if its not connected because the battery is not being detected.... then what i checked first was photobooth surprise the isight camera is not working... i searched in internet about smc but i do not understand it.... is there a way to recover it using the cd?

    Try resetting the PMU - Resetting MacBook and MacBook Pro System Management Controller (SMC). If you have no success then you'll need to take it in for service or replace the AC adaptor if it's gone bad.

    As far as trying to power up your device, make sure it has a good charge and then hold the button on the top of the phone and the home button on the faceplate together until the apple appears on the screen.

    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you had one issue and then got a second trying to resolve the first. A frustrating situation for sure. The first article linked has what to do if it is not powering on unless plugged in. The second article addresses the error you are receiving when trying to restore.

    Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
    Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace

    my iphone 6 wont turn on after i updated it and it doesn't work to restore it in itunes. what should i do?

    Hello ole-gunnar,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is unresponsive after updating your iOS version, then I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting below.
    If you see a black screen
    You might need to charge your device before it can turn on. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad), then try turning it on. 
    You should see a battery icon while your device is charging. If you continue to see a black screen, reset your device. If your device doesn't respond when you press buttons
    Your device might not return to the Home screen when you press the Home button, wake from sleep when you press the Sleep/Wake button, slide to unlock or power off, or it might appear frozen. Try these steps:
    Restart your device.
    If it still doesn't respond, or if it doesn't turn back on, reset your device.
    If your device gets stuck during startup
    When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    Get more help
    If you still need help after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.

  • I updated my phone to ios 8.3 and now it wont turn on, i tried to restore it on itunes csuse i said thats my only option but everytime its about to finish it says an error occured, what do i do?

    iphone 6 wont turn on after i updated it to ios 3.8. tells me i have to connect to itunes so i did and it doesnt let me restore my phone, it always says an error occured, wha do i do?

    If it's in recovery mode, the data is already gone. Why did you never back up your important data?

    See if you missed anything here
    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The appointment is free. No warranty required
