Q: My powerbook g4 wont turn on. Is a couple years old, has a flashing light like it's on sleep but wont turn on, battery wouldny last longer than 5 min before but now completely turned off

Alright, i have a powerbook g4. I got it from a friend, it's a couple years old. I was warned that it has a low battery and will only work longer than five minutes without the recharger. I was using the computer with the recharger when it runs out suddenly. I leave it on the recharger thinking it'll charge up in the morning. It does not, i've been trying to turn it on forever but nothing works. Help?

PowerBook, Mac OS X (10.5), Old battery
