No start up chime and black screen. Any suggestions?
First I want to say this community is awesome. Now to the point. A friend gave me an A1138. He said it just stopped working one day. It's the only explanation he gave me. So this is what I have done:
-Reseated RAM
-Reset PMU (took battery out, which is dead anyway, and pressed power button for five seconds)
-Tried a different 65 watt power adapter (light still goes green even though battery is dead, but computer will not turn on)
Any other suggestions. I'm inclined to think it is the DC-in board. Am I off base in thinking that? Honestly the computer looks like it was taken care of, but nothing seems to be receiving power. I'm at a loss. Thanks for your time.

Is it the logic board maybe?

Do you get anything when trying to start? sounds, lights, smells
When you tried the other power adapter, did you try yours on the other machine to see if it worked? any difference between the two? Did you try it with the battery out?

Thanks for the reply lemerise and mayer. To answer your question mayer, I didn't get a peep out of it. No lights, no sounds, no smells. I did try a different 65 watt adapter that works fine on my friend's powerbook, but did nothing but glow green with the battery in and with the battery out. lemerise, I tried twisting around in the socket just to see if it was a loose connection and it remained a steady green the entire time. This is with the battery connected and disconnected. Since the adapter that came with the powerbook was an aftermarket adapter I could not tell a difference, beside the fact that powerbook had no reaction either way. Hopefully this weekend I will get a chance to open it up and take a look under the hood. Any other suggestions or things to look for are welcome. Thanks for all the help so far gentlemen.
