Oct 22, 2011 6:25 AM in response to MacGenius8390by Texas Mac Man,Here's the take-a-part instructions for the Wallstreet http://www.ifixit.com/Device/PowerBook_G3_Wallstreet
What size HD is in the PB? There's very limited space for OS 9 & X, plus some apps.
Are you running from the battery or power adapter?
You might disconnect the kbd & trackpad & try to boot.
Cheers, Tom
