Powerbook Duo 210 crashed and won’t reboot

I picked up a 210 at a thrift store recently and i wad delighted that it worked perfectly, however as i was using it the entire screen froze, after leaving it for a few minutes with no response i restarted the machine using the keyboard, after which i got a happy mac followed by the screen flashing and then a blinking question mark. The hard disk is an IBM 40 meg type and i can hear the head/s moving when it attempts to boot and then… nothing, the disk keeps spinning but clearly no activity. Could this be capacitors? Or is this like drive related?
