What is wrong?

[visss]

My powerbook does not power up. When I use Shift+fn+ctrl+Power, it should reset. But it runs with no display. I do not think the computer is starting up though. just the fan and some other components.

When I press the Power button, it does not start.
Help pls

What kind of PowerBook?
If you've been adding new hardware, try removing it and see what happens. I had a problem like that with my WallStreet and it took me a while to figure out that the daughtercard wasn't plugged in all the way (the fan went on but wouldn't go off). Try reseating that...

what is a daughter card?

 

[DeltaMac]

Daughter card is an essential computer part (in this case I think, the power supply) that is attached to the Motherboard (Apple calls em Main Logic Boards usually) through a card edge or a multi pin direct connector.
