hello everyone!
after going through the "instant fixes" thread and not getting very far there, i have to ask specifically:
here are the facts:
ibook G4 1,33 GHz 768 MB Ram, Mac OSX 10.3 (latest version)
bought in dezember 2004, no similar problems so far.
here's the problem:
i left my flat today, setting my screen to black via the hot corner...when i came back and brought the screen back, the OSX had frozen and the ram was making rythmical noises.
i pulled the plug since it didn't want to turn off via the power button anymore.
after a few minutes i turned it back on, the welcoming sound came up and then the gray screen with the apple and the little spinning wheel...and nothing more. just the rythmical sounds from the ram again.
i tried booting in single-user mode (command is the button with the little apple right? sorry for asking ), but then just the grey screen came up with not even the apple or the wheel...and yes, rythmical ram sounds
what could it be / what could i do?
have i done something wrong trying to get into single-user moder? i pressed command (apple button) + S while starting up
hope someone can help me! thx in advance!
