[QUOTE="jroc, post: 256358"] Can someone help me out? I have an iBook G4, 1064mhz, 256/30. I dont know what model that makes it, but from the Mac website, I have tried to reset the PRAM to no avail. All of the methods listed do not seem to do anything on my ibook. Im having the same problem, i boot, it does stuff, and then goes to a grey/blue screen (maybe im colorblind?) I tried using this link to reset the PRAM [URL=http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449#faq9]Resetting PowerBook and iBook Power Management Unit (PMU)[/URL] I dont know which one is for my model, but i see no reset button under the keyboard, or on the case. There is a little tiny hole on the case beside the LCD??? As well, i did hold down the "option" button when booting, and it brings me to a screen which shows an image of a hard drive with a [COLOR=YellowGreen]green[/COLOR] "x" I dont know if the green means good or the X means bad.. One more thing, is just before it turned off on its own and started doing this, there was a terrible noise which sounded like the fan going crazy.. then *black*... Is it possible a faulty fan might have something to do with this? Or it could have been HD platters going ntus? Thanks [/QUOTE]
