IBook G4 battery charging, but won't pow...

Hey all - I have a 12' iBook G4 (1.33 ghz) that took a tumble and the power connector snapped off inside of it. I took it apart, popped out the broken bit from the dc-in board, and used it until the battery drained. It worked fine until then.

I bought a new power cord, but it failed to charge the battery, and after searching through countless forums, I figured the problem was the dc-in board. I bought a replacement, and just installed it. Now, the battery indicator lights (the four green ones) are showing that it's charging up. It's on three right now. But the computer still won't power on. No fan noise, no other lights. I tried the PMU reset, but nothing. It's weird.

Any thoughts?

Revisit the DC connector and make sure that it is soldered corectly, no cold solder joints.

Stupid question but did you remember to reconnect the start up switch to the logic board? Also check to make sure you did not break the connector loose from the logic board.
