Q: iBook G4 will not turn on
I have an iBook G4 14" screen computer that I received back in 2005. I've already had the logic board replaced (summer 2006) and today it decided it won't turn on. My husband took the battery out while it was sleeping (grrrr) and now that it's been replaced it won't turn on at all.
This is what I've tried:
pressing power, listening for some activity
checking the charger for power
taking the battery out and trying to turn on with just charger
pressing shift-ctrl-option-power, wait 5 secs power
putting pressure on the left side of the trackpad and pressing power button
nothing is turning this on.
When I tilt the computer from side to side I hear something rolling around. I'm stumped because I just used the computer and I didn't drop it and I didn't hear anything breaking.....
Any advice?
It's still under warranty.

Check out the Apple Knowledge Base article on troubleshooting portables that won't turn on or start up.
Maybe something there will help.
