[QUOTE="Badger, post: 50189"] This model won't start if the battery has gone away but the usual symptom is a black screen (the battery is involved in initializing the video). When it was working did you notice the date and time? If it was current then the battery was still good. Given the sudden failure it may be that the hard disk picked that moment to die. In any case, you'll need to track down a system floppy or utility disk like Norton's to go further. Try to find a Mac club in your area. There's usually someone in a club that has old software. Otherwise, if you are willing to risk about $10 you could replace the battery to see if that's it. Badger [/QUOTE]
