[QUOTE="jhonrox, post: 869287, member: 90717"] Sorry about the late reply guys, I was away for a while .. And thanks to everybody who has replied Hi, even though I wouldn't know what to do with the unix command prompt, I tried Command+S combination at startup, but didn't get any responses. The weird thing is that every time I tried this, I got the blank screen problem, but after restarting, it boots up without any issues. I guess that is it then! Because my PowerBook is definitely more than 4 years old, but I'm not sure about the exact life. And yes, its the original drive - 80 GB, 4000 rpm .. Has anybody here replaced their PowerBook G4 hard drive? On a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 is very easy and 5 is very difficult, how would you rate your upgrade experience? Thanks again everybody, and keep those replies coming! :) [/QUOTE]
