Go to Apple Tech Library and search for Article 14449, which will 
have the details of resetting the power manager for your particular 
Powerbook. If this doesn't work, I would try a new power supply, if 
that is a relatively easy alternative:

- borrow one from a friend or other computer, or

- take your laptop to an Apple Store; they usually have spare power 
supplies for testing at the Genius bar.

If the power supply died, it would have run your battery down, hence 
no ability to power up...

If all else fails, you hopefully have AppleCare.
