You are da man!! I had three 475 units all exhibiting the same no video
symptoms. All come up when I replaced their battery.

The start-up sound is the same with the old or the new battery. I don't
understand how Apple could have designed a unit where a degradable
component could stop the system working with no visible or audio indication.

Anyways, thanks for the fix, it worked for me.
