I just picked up a 600mhz g3 ibook from a friend of mine for cheap because he was having trouble with it. So far I have been unable to get it to boot from both the internal HD and the cd-rom drive. When booted with no options the system remains at a blank gray screen for about 2 minutes and then changes to the flashing ? icon. I've tried the C option to boot from cd and when booting with the option key no boot devices are listed. I don't have access to a firewire drive so I'm unable to try that. Any ideas on what the problem could be? I read about the logic board problem and this unit's serial number matches the affected group but I believe the replacement period has passed and I'm not sure that this is a symptom of a failed logic board.
