[Ti] Dead TI

[Jacob Ritorto]

I have a similar but older g4 tibook that inexplicably tanked and gives 
no response to power whatsoever.  No apparent cause.  Didn't figure out 
why so it's prolly heading for the garbage pile.

Do you get any signs of life at all?  Chime, screen flash, sleep light, 
anything?  If so you could try a pram reset.  This nukes and defaults 
all special settings at the openboot level, before the OS is loaded or 
anything like that.  If I recall corretly you have to hold down 
option-apple-p-r right after hitting the power button, but you might 
want to verify that sequence via google or something.  Legend has it 
that to even more completely clear everything from pram you're supposed 
to hold those keys down until the chime rings three times, then all 
settings are wantonly smashed back to factory defaults.  Sounds like a 
fairy tail to me, but you know Jobs..

The power supply is working (switched with my laptop) it has a new battery that has been in it for at least 6 months and all the lights on it show it is fully charged. I've held the power button down for 10 seconds, nothing. Took it to a User Group meeting and they pried the keyboard off to find the reset button...that didn't work.
