[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1623643, member: 56379"] Ok…thanks for the info. I thought since the "CD drive noise" was commented on…that a disk was inserted. From what was mentioned…sounds like the hard drive on this computer may be having problems. Maybe the hard drive is failing…or maybe the OS install is corrupted or damaged in some way. The computer needs to be booted from a secondary source (such as an external HD with a compatible OS on it…or a compatible OS install CD or DVD). Just as an FYI. Depending on the exact model iBook G4 this is…it may only be worth about $50 bucks. And this is if it is working 100%. The cash that may have been spent on it already (new charger & keyboard)…may be more than should have been spent (considering it's value). Just wanted you to know before going much further. - Nick [/QUOTE]
