Aaaarrrggghhh!

So I completely tore down the system and re-assembled it, even managing to put in a few screws I had missed on the first go around.

The system booted up just fine before placing the bottom shield and plastic shield on.

So I figured I was good to go.

Nope.

Installed bottom metal shield, plastic shield, feet, and battery.

Push power button.

Nothing.

WTF!?! :?:

If this wasn't the only portable Mac I own that functions and is useable (when it boots) besides my 5300, I would toss in the street out of sheer frustration. I have now torn down and re-assembled the system 3 times.

All so I could re-install the DVD/CD-RW drive and install Tiger.

If I wasn't broke from my wife's cancer bills xx( , I'd just e-bay myself a nice unit and move on with my life, but alas it is not to be.

Dang.
