Please help…
My PowerBook has not had any problems. I tried booting it last night and it made a strange garbled chime and never turned on the screen. Nothing happened. I tried unplugging everything, including the battery, overnight and booting without the battery this morning and nothing. When I plug it in the green light comes on but other than that - nothing.
I hope I haven’t somehow killed this machine. :-[
I have several other computers and I’ve never had one break randomly like this.

Update:
I just had to reset the PMU. I am soooo happy it wasn’t anything serious. Leaving this solution up in case anyone needs it later.
(PS: to reset the PMU plug the computer in and hold the reset button in the I/O panel down for about 10 to 20 seconds. I didn’t even know there was a reset button there haha)
