iBook G4 won’t boot.

Hello Mr. Bumstead!

My recently acquired iBook G4 won’t boot, it doesn’t show anything(black screen) and there’s no boot chime. When the charger is plugged, it shows the charging indicator and charges the battery. When I press the power button, the DVD drive makes sound, then the hard drive spins and stops. And you can hear the fans spin if you get your head really closely. It does the same without battery… I have tried booting without the expandable ram and airport card and I’ve got the same results. I have disassembled it and there wasn’t anything missing. Any tips on what I can do to try to fix it?

Would you know where this power nodes are?

Here's a pic.

It worked last time I used it a year ago. Unpluged for a year now nothing from the power btn.

Help?

My iBook G3 has the bad video issue. When I squeeze it on the left side it gets better for a while. Is there something else I can do?

ibook G3

The screen will not display anything when I turn it on. Everything else seems to be working to my knowledge, but I cannot be sure since I cannot see anything on the screen. What could be the problem? I know that most likely the G4 CD's someone gave me with the computer won't work with a G3 ibook either right? I'm wondering if maybe I can just replace the screen with a working one and it will work, but I don't know. What are your thoughts?
