[QUOTE="jn4jenny, post: 161767"] Bad news, amigo: What you're describing sounds like hard drive failure PLUS logic board failure. If it were just the hard drive, then theoretically the machine could boot from an external disk. But if it's not even doing that, I smell logic board failure. Same thing happened to me. It sucks. I got Apple to fix it for their flat-rate repair charge (which was a deal considering that the logic board alone is worth at least $300), but it sucked not having my Powerbook for a week and a half. :( [/QUOTE]
