Trying to bring a PowerBook Duo 270C/DuoDoc combo I’ve owned since 94 back to life.
With the laptop inserted I plug in the unit and push the power up key on my keyboard. Unit starts to boot up - satisfying hard drive clicking sounds begin, small mac symbol appears on the grey screen (using a sanyo projector for a monitor using a HD15 to VGA converter) then the larger Mac logo pops up. A few seconds of this and the whole system powers down. 🙁
ive tried booting with extensions off (holding down shift key) - no change. Resetting P Ram - no change.
Seeking new ideas on how to fix this.
Thank you in advance.

Probably the power brick. Bet it needs new caps. Also, make sure the battery is removed out of the unit. This can cause issues as well.
