- Your Mac's Specs
- PowerBook 12" G4- Mac OS x 10.5; Macbook 13" Mac OS X 10.5
I haven't turned on this computer for a week to two weeks. It's a g4 imac.
I was working fine last time it was on. This is a hand me down so I dont even know what OS its using, but im pretty sure its leopard.
I just set it up and it wont boot. The grey screen comes up, but the little spinning thing isnt there. It chimes and the apple comes up. I hear the fan. I umplugged the speakers, but it still wont turn on. I reset the PRAM and it chimed twice but still went back to the grey screen with no spinner.
Before I open this bad boy up and try resetting the PMU, is there anything I can try in firmware? I can open firmware. The previous owner may have deleted a kernel or something when they were cleaning it before giving it to me.
Thanks in advance for you help. As I said, I'm not exactly sure of the specs so I dont know if i can provide any more info until I hear back from the previous owner. Let me know what questions to ask that may be helpful.
