Is your PowerBook G3 not turning on or experiencing power issues? This guide will help you troubleshoot and fix common power problems with your PowerBook G3.
Step 1: Check the Power Adapter
Make sure that the power adapter is plugged into a working outlet and that the cable is securely connected to both the adapter and the PowerBook G3. Try using a different outlet or power adapter to rule out any issues with those components.
Step 2: Inspect the Battery
A dead or faulty battery can prevent the PowerBook G3 from turning on. Remove the battery from the computer and inspect it for any signs of damage or swelling. If the battery appears damaged, replace it with a new one.

- Unplug the PowerBook G3 from the power outlet.
- Remove the battery.
- Hold down the power button for 10 seconds.
- Reinsert the battery and plug the PowerBook G3 back into the power outlet.
