tone when the PowerBook is turned on.
Solution:
Does the sleep light on the upper right corner of the screen stay on

reset. To do this, disconnect all peripherals and power sources (battery
and A/C power adapter) from the PowerBook. Use a small piece of
tape to hold the On/Off key down and leave the PowerBook in this
configuration overnight (8-10 hours). It is normal if clicking sounds
from the speaker are audible during this procedure. Repeat step 22 of
the installation procedure.
No: The PowerBook power management circuit may need to be reset
longer than the 30 seconds in step 21 of the installation instructions.
Disconnect all peripherals and power sources (battery and A/C power
adapter). Hold the On/Off key down for several minutes. It is normal
if clicking sounds from the speaker are audible during this procedure.
