My G4 tower decided to suddenly shut down and now I can't wake it back up. It makes the Wall-E start-up tone, then goes to a white screen. I tried safe mode and nothing happened there. There is a sound coming from the tower that almost sounds like a record skipping.

We don't have the OS disk since my brother in-law normally works on the computer and unfortunately, he is dealing with a death in the family right now.

I would be really happy if your replies do not include the words "new hard drive" or "lost data".

Any help?

Oh, and we are running 10.4 I think.
