Left my fully working PowerBook G3 Wallstreet running and on the charger when I went to a meeting. I had recently replaced the display on this thing.
When I had returned, the display backlight (or inverter board... or whatever) gave out, and the LCD showed the OS still running (very faintly).
Upon powering it off, it won't even boot the OS anymore, shows a flashing "?" on a floppy... Maybe the hard drive died too?
Because these multiple things broke at once, the only thing I can think to blame is the power supply. Any tests I should do on this yoyo charger before plugging it into another machine?
