I have a 12" aluminum G4 Powerbook that was exposed to a watered down soda that was apparently knocked over when the computer was in sleep mode overnight. I understand the extensive damage that may have resulted because it was on. After drying thoroughly for several days and restarting, the fan and power come on, but the screen does not. The caps lock key does light up but the screen does not, nor do I hear the drives spin up. I tried resetting PRAM/NVRAM and as well tried to start it in Target/firewire mode and from OS X DVD to no avail. Any more suggestions before I part it out and hopefully get the hard drive out to recover the data if possible?
Sounds like you have done all you can. The hard drive should be ok and still work in an external case so you can transfer the data to a new machine. Good luck!
