I just bought a PDQ PowerBook G3; 300MHz, 64MB of RAM, 8GB drive, etc. Problem is, when I plug the computer in, the fans rev up, the LED stays solid, but both go out after 2 or so seconds. Then if I press the power button, I get a "bong", but nothing else. Could this be as simple as a dead PRAM battery? Should I just let it sit on the charger for an extended period and see if it boots?
