Your cmos battery is dead. The message won't go away until you replace it.

Here's a link on how.

Cheapest place to get a replacement one is ebay ;) otherwise they're pretty expensive :(

LG 47LC7DF Green Light Blinks 16 Times - No Picture or Sound

Well dont keep it on!

By running it after it shutdown and it finally did its last pop that added another $XX to the parts bill.

The control boards (2) have now failed There are burned Capacitors ( pop!) and possibly even a few transistors burned out. This is not a DIY it is a Tech job as once changed these boards require additional tuning of the convergence factor.

Mac Powerbook G4 won't (completley) start and won't turn off

All you need to do is a System Repair. You have to boot the Mac with the CD/DVD (as if you were to install the OS X again, but when you get the desktop, you are given options to repair your current installation. (Follow the instructions on screen). It will take about 20 minutes to complete (depending on your processor speed).

Powerbook g4 15 not turning on

Something is wrong with the operating system. If there is a flashing folder with a question mark, then it might be with the hard drive as well. If you just get that warning, then you may only have to reinstall your operating system (OS X). Get your CD/DVDs out and insert the OS X disk. Hold down C when you start the computer so it will start from the disk and not from the hard drive. After the startup program has loaded, you can try to check the hard drive and repair permissions and such to see if that works, or you can just reinstall the OS. Good luck.
