Powerbook G4 Ti nostart :-(

Faithfull old test machine does not power up any more.

* 6 months ago it would boot if main battery was removed.
I think Apple PSU ring would go from orange to green then

* Now, PSU stays orange, even when removing PRAM battery pack.

Anything easy to try? I can try re-soldering power socket, but it looks like tags are good?

Hi Nigel! Thanks for the post! Have you seen my video on removing and re-connecting the PRAM battery in order to fix machines that are acting like yours? Let me know if it helps! And if not, let me know, and we can go from there.

Oops, ignore this - I had accidentally unplugged the other connector when removing the DVD-ROM drive.

Got it to boot. Now I just gotta re-pack the old battery pack
