Dec 12, 2011 7:49 AM in response to AMBER93by Allan Jones,Before abandoning the power supply testing, try one last thing. See if the adaptors warm up/light up when you put slight upward pressure on the adaptors's plug where it meets the computer case.
The barrel-type power connector used on PowerBook logic boards has a bad tendency to loosen with use an stress. Slight upward pressure temporarily restores the electrical contact lost when the solder joints failed.

Dec 14, 2011 1:37 PM in response to Allan Jonesby AMBER93,Thanks. Already fried that process Allan. So I opened the T1 and removed the upgraded drive and 120G HD;
ordered an enclosure case for the IDE drive; arrived today. About a 10 minute install into the drive enclosure and it is now connected by FW to this computer and all the files that were on the Laptop are now accessible from the former Laptop 120 G internal drive. The drive originally came from MCE technologies in 2010 as did the enclosure kit that arrived in 3 days from its order.
Ezy as apple pie!!
Thanks for all help chaps
