[QUOTE="kckc, post: 1610807, member: 334864"] Thank you to all those that have taken the time to reply and apologies for cross posting - I was a tad confused as to where to post, thanks for 'sorting' mate! Yes its a Powerbook G4 - What a blimin solid machine! I get the black screen after pressing - APPLE with S then THE POWER BUTTON. I did this after watching a you tube video however the instructions in the video dont work for me - eeek! [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvlkXNSmRmo[/url] NEW PICS ATTACHED So the other option is just to press the POWER BUTTON. This brings up a white screen with the apple in the middle and a turning circle. It then shuts down and tries again and so on and so forth. Nick to answer your questions: - installed a new/different hard drive - NO - did something with the ram - NO - reinstalled the OS - NO - installed new applications NO - dropped the computer - NO - spilled liquid on the computer - NO - had any electrical surges - NO - had any thunder/lightning storms - YES but it wasn't on then! To be honest I'm open to trying anything on it as I've got everything to gain to see what happens? Re thunderstorms - it was hail stoning last week and bucketting down for about half an hour then in typical british weather style the sun came out in full force....this is why us Brits are always talking about the weather! Hugh - What do you mean you're not far away from me?! kckc [ATTACH=full]21098[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]21099[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]21100[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]21101[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
