[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1006793, member: 140470"] If the computer won't even startup it might be other problems unrelated to the OS. You might want to bring it to an Apple store and see if they can find out what is wrong with it. You don't have to repair it but this way you'll know for sure it's not a hardware related problem. If it is you can choose if it's worth repairing. It would be wasteful if you bought 10.5 Leopard to only find out that it still doesn't work because your problem is hardware related. People are selling copies of Leopard for really high prices because Apple has stopped officially making them. 10.4 Tiger is even harder to find as are the other older OS. Also if the person you got this computer from hasn't upgrade the OS since getting it then you probably have 10.4 Tiger installed but you won't know for sure until you can turn it on and check.
