[QUOTE="macinjosh, post: 526296, member: 36583"] I had the same thing happen to me with my ibook before I upgraded to a macbook. I was, however able to get it to boot just long enough to wipe the hardrive. I would defiantly go with a refurbished macbook, $800 is a lot of money just to repair an ibook, and you can most likely find a refurbished macbook for $950. Another suggestion is to take apart, remove your hard drive (since you have sensitive data on it) and sell the rest of the ibook on ebay as broken. I was able to do this and got over $200!...hey it's better than a paperweight! [/QUOTE]
