All of a sudden my Powerbook Duo 230 won't power up. Checked the power supply with another unit and it's fine. Any suggestions where to start. (I tried reset button!)
Thanks.

Does it have a good battery?
Any way you can test individual parts from it by swapping with the other unit that you tested the PSU with?

I know battery is no good, but unit ran fine without battery until now.

Paul,
Most likely it's the internal battery. PC people call it the CMOS battery. If that battery completely goes dead, the computer won't start at all (except for in the docking station)
