PowerBook g4 i dropped laptop now screen doesn’t work UPDATE: the hinge still works properly. my PowerBooks stll boots up and it sounds like the hardrive is spinning. the screen just stays black.

Please be more specific about the PB damages (hinges OK ?) and what’s happening when you push the power button. Any activity ? Do you hear the boot chime ? Do you hear the hard drive spinning ? Check if you see a faint image of the desktop if the machine boots.
