[QUOTE="george7627, post: 725064, member: 48735"] Firstly, hello. Im new to the world of Macs so Im not totally sure what Im searching for to solve my problem. If this is already covered please post the thread links but don't bite ;D I purchased the iBook PowerPC G3 off of Ebay (bad move) and immediately have problems with it - the easiest way to solve it is send it back but the seller and ebay are having nothing to do with it - so a fix is the only option. When I turn on the iBook, I get the chime, it thinks for a few seconds then loads up the grey screen with the apple logo and the disc thing going round. Thats it, doesn't go any further - it will sit there until I turn it off. One thing that has been suggested is a OS reboot (I have been told that it runs off OSX - which I would need to buy a copy of). Now at present I cannot open the disc drive for love nor money or can I seem to access any boot priority screen. Can anyone here help me on how to fix this ? Thanks [/QUOTE]
