[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 61362, member: 3850"] I had that happen to me once or twice a while back, a certain hardware reset combination did it for me... It was either hold apple and p on startup, or apple, shift and something.... Can't remember it exactly, hold on a sec (scribbled it on some paper here somewhere...) Nope paper has been trashed... but I have this handy link for you instead which is apple's support document on exactly the kind of problem you have been having... [url]http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449[/url] That fixed it for me! P.S. I don't think that document lists the iBook G4 specifically, but just follow the instructions for the latest Powerbook models right at the bottom of the page... "PowerBook G4 (12-inch), PowerBook G4 (12-inch DVI), PowerBook G4 (15-inch FW 800), PowerBook G4 (15-inch 1.5/1.33GHz), PowerBook G4 (17-inch), PowerBook G4 (17-inch 1.33GHz), PowerBook G4 (17-inch 1.5GHz) If the computer is on, turn it off. Reset the power manager by simultaneously pressing and then releasing Shift-Control-Option-Power on the keyboard. Do not press the fn (Function) key while using this combination of keystrokes. Wait 5 seconds. Press the Power button to restart the computer." [/QUOTE]
