powebook problems

I’m having problems with my PowerBook. It’s the latest version prior to the MacBook launch.

Powerbook G4 15″ 1.67Ghz
512mb RAM
80GB HDD

It was left unplugged and the battery ran dry. It’s gone into a coma. It won’t start or make a noise, just sits there - no whirring or anything. The battery light blinks green quickly (one LED).

I have tried all the reset instructions from the Apple site. Battery out - unplugged - hold power for 5 secs. And nothing. I have looked everywhere for a reset button, but I don’t think the latest model has one (i.e above instructions). It’s the Mrs’ laptop so I have to sort this! Can’t even the get the intro to boot to do a PRAM reset.

Help!

    I had that - have to recharge by restarting [force start] and now it’s OK.
