Mac 17" Powerbook G4 won't start up after being opened up

Mac 17" Powerbook G4 won't start up after being opened up A friend's taken the keyboard off his 17" Mac G4 Powerbook, screwed it back on and now nothing happens when presses the power button. I don't have 'eyes-on' but he says he didn't do anything else apart from unscrew it, look around then screw it back on. Has anyone been inside a Powerbook or have any idea what the problem could be?

He probably just disconnected keyboard's ribbon. Unscrew it again and check ribbon connection. In worst case scenario, he pulled it little bit harder so you will need to unscrew half of computer in order to reach keyboard ribbon socket.

Try re-seating the battery -- that's the easy one to check. Otherwise he might have shocked something on the board when he was undoing the ribbon? It may be better for your friend to post the question so we can get some more details.
