[QUOTE="sabusforms, post: 1427163, member: 38379"] My daughter's iBook G-4 won't start up. When the start button is pressed you can hear the drive go into start-up mode & it continues to make a grinding start-up noise, but the Apple start -up sound never happens & the screen never come on.The grinding noise continues until you hold down the start-up button & then it stops.Please can anyone define the problem & how to get it to start up again. I thought it might have been a battery problem, so I replaced the battery as the old one wouldn't charge up & even when I left it charging overnight. there was only 1 green light continuing to flash when I checked the battery charge. Even with a new battery & the charger plugged in, it still does the same. Won't start up. Would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions , Thanks, Sabusforms :( [/QUOTE]
