Hello I have an iBook G3 500 mhx ppc g3 256 mb or ram 15 Gb Hard drive Dual booting Mac OS X 10.1 and 10.3. I was going to upgrade the os but when I turned it on I heared the Hard drive turn on and then It turned off and nothing on the screen. I tried turning it on several times and used different power sources since the battery is shot. The problem is it won't turn on. No apple logo, or bong. No video. Please help!
iBook, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
update It turned on once and gave me a bong so I turned it off and brought it to my desk and it did not power on.
It sounds to me like a logic board issue. This model iBook is known for that issue. If you have not done so already, try resetting the PRAM, there is a chance that it may work, and has done so in the past. Let me know.
Have you tried resetting the PMU?

Although it may not help, it's the first thing an AppleCare representative would have you try.
