Hi all,
Thanks in advance for reading my post!
I am a new powerbook user (I bought a powerbook 15" 1.67 ghz in Nov '05). I did not have any problems till now. But now I am having two problems:
1. When I try to restart my powerbook, it shows me the grey box and tells me to keep pressing the power button for several seconds. I know this is not normal as I was not seeing this box previously. When I switch off the system this way, I get a window asking me to report the unexpected error to Apple. The error was referring to some 'kernel panic'. This happens everytime when I try to restart.
2. I am not able to play movies from DVD on my powerbook. Any original DVD that I try to play is not recognized by the superdrive. The error which I get says that this DVD cannot be played on this system. I do not get this problem when I try to read data DVDs. I can even write DVDs.
Has anyone else encountered this problem before? Any ideas how to troubleshoot this.
Thanks for your responses!
Cheers
Sajith
