iBook G3 Power Help...
So I bought this G3 off of eBay, and I just upgraded the HD, optical drive and RAM. I reassembled everything, put the battery in, plugged it in, and hit the power button. It booted once. The OS X loading screen appeared and as soon as the progress bar got to the end, the whole thing shut down. It now won't even start at all. No response to the power button (tried two batteries and two power adapters). What gives?

Re: iBook G3 Power Help...
Figured it out shortly after I posted. I pulled the case apart, and one of the springs from the battery compartment was laying on the logic board. Took the spring off and it fired right up. Guess I got lucky.
