Does any lights show on the power adapter?

When you press the button on the battery, does that indicate any charge?

When you press the power button, do you hear anything from the iBook, does the screen flicker a second or the hard drive spin?

Have you tried your iBook using another power outlet in your house?

Have tried resetting the PMU? (I am assuming you would have)

I got it to turn on and its working fine. I did this: i plugged the adapter and removed the battery and pressed the power button for 5-10 seconds and i had put back the battery and pressed the Power button and it turned on
