I have an iBook from late 2004 I don't know if 13 or 14", and it doesn't want to boot. It stays blocked in the Apple with the wheel. I changed it for an MB Pro, but it would be great if I could bring it back to life, without moving from home.

From your description it's more likely the system has corrupted or the hard drive failed. If so neither are too expensive to resolve.

Thanks a lot, and the hard disk, I repaired four times, at 200€ each.

That wasn't very smart! 200 euros x 4 = 800 euros. That's a pretty good chunk towards a new computer!
