Q: Dropped 12" powerbook - HD fine, powers up but display doesn't come on

I'm trying to fix a dropped 12" powerbook. The battery corner took the impact. I've taken it apart and removed the HD which was fine and backed that up. When I turn on the powerbook it seems to power up fine, but the display doesn't turn on. Though it's possible that there's power but something earlier in the boot sequence is broken and is stopping it booting. Any suggestions as to things to try?

Also, there's a DVD in the slot drive, and ideas on how to get that out?

powerbook 12", Mac OS X (10.4.11)
