My wife's 12" iBook G4 had what sounds like the same problem. The battery showed completely charged (in fact I believe like you she had just drained and charged it overnight). Next day, push the power button, and *nothing*. Reset the battery, still nuthin'.

Our local Mac dealer took on the challenge, and ended up replacing the logic board, complete.

If this sounds like your problem, E-mail me if you want the specifics about our dealer if you need ammunition to have Apple fix the problem. He's excellent and I'm sure he'll back you up with the info you need to get the repair done under AppleCare.
