Alright so I have this powerbook 180 that is in good condition physically screen even looks nice, however it doesn't boot at all, zero anything out of it, the internal battery was removed before I got it and there was some leakage but it was very minimal and I was able to clean it up pretty good. One of the battery terminals is broken but I'm not super worried about it since I dont' have a battery anyways. I checked the PSU with a multimeter and it's giving 7.5V as it should. Wondering what else I should check? I have read conflicting reports about if the 180 requires a PRAM battery to boot or not, would that be my next step to try and replace that? Just not sure what else, there don't seem to be a lot of big caps on the board or antyhing that would be causing problems, but I've never worked on any of the 100 series machines before.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
