iBook g3 doesn't turn on

Hi everyone!

I have an ibook g3(700mhz/128mb/20gb/COMBO) wich doesn't turn on. I bought it a half year ago (for 30$) ,everything was fine with it. It's in perfect condition, it has a not apple-made battery, with that battery it lasted for 2-3hours depending on how i used it. I used it for a week, then i took it away(to my shelf). 3 months ago i charged it up, and watched a dvd on it then i took it away again(i noticed that that time the booting was super-slow, it took nearly 5minutes instead of the 1min20sec). Today i charged it up again, to use it a bit, but when i wanted to power it on, it didn't do anything. No chime, no image, no fan sound, no hdd noise. The light on the powercorde was orange untill the battery charged up, then it became green(as far i know that's how it supposed to look). The battery was charged up to 100%, it’s sure. I tried to turn it on without the battery, but still nothing. I also tried to hold down the power button for 10 seconds, without the battery or powercorde, then i pluged it and tried to powerd it on, but it didn't work. I also tried some key combinations, but i only noticed one thing, when i was pressing shift+control+command+power, the powercorde's light was turned from orange to green. So as you can see, i have no idea what to do with that old device, i want to keep it anyway, because it's in perfect condition. I looking for your advice, guys. I would appreciate your effort.

Try disconnecting the battery and power adapter. Press and hold the power on button for 10 seconds. Reconnect the battery and power adapter and see if it boots.

As i mentioned, i tried that, but it didn't fixed the problem. But now it's working again, i just pluged the powercord in, and let it pluged for a hour, then i came to the laptop and pressed the power button, and it immediately turn on(btw the booting was slow, and the hdd was a bit loudy). Now everything works fine on the ibook, and i tried to restart it so many times, and every restart was successful. I think the problem maybe was that the pram ran out of power, and it needed more charge than the battery.

Btw thanks for the quick answer.
