I've got a Kanga that I'm trying to put back into working order. It's in great physical shape but it won't boot. It booted previously but the keyboard was defective, so I replaced it with an NOS one. I've taken out the keyboard and cleaned the insides and everything looks good, but when I plug it into power it makes one clicking noise from the speakers and then does nothing. If I press the reset button on the back the green light above the display comes on but it still won't boot. Would a loose keyboard ribbon cable cause this behavior? Any other ways to troubleshoot one of these things?
EDIT: I should also note that the machine has been sitting for probably about two years. But that said I don't think the PRAM battery or any of the caps exploded. Everything looked clean under the keyboard. I'm going to plug it in and leave it for a while and see what happens...from what I've read that may solve the issue since the PRAM battery needs a bit of a charge to boot the machine.
