Plug the AC adapter into the powerbook. (PB)
Remove the battery.
Ascertain the battery charge by pressing the small button on the battery and noting how many LEDs light up.
Place the battery aside.
Attempt to awaken the PB by hitting any key on the kbd. (still plugged in to AC power)
If it still won't wake, press and hold the power button for approximately 4-5 seconds. You should hear a slight click as the PB shuts off. -Warning, unsaved work will be lost!
If you shut it off at this point, you should wait 10 minutes for cooling purposes, keep the battery aside and then attempt to restart the PB from AC power alone.
If the PB won't start from AC power alone, and especially if your battery showed no LEDs or one blinking LED, then it is likely your AC adapter is bad. Or possibly the port where the AC adapter plugs in has failed.
If it starts right up from AC power, then put the battery back in and charge it fully.
Good Luck -AMG
