I have an older PowerBook G4 up at the cottage that has not been booted up in over a year, as we have been abroad.

When I switch it on, I get the pale blue screen with the apple in the middle, and the little circling thingy underneath, that just keeps turning. But it won't actually start.

Any thoughts on how to kick start this thing? It's on outlet power, and I've already tried removing the battery and putting it back etc.

As always your kind help is much appreciated!
