[QUOTE="blip, post: 1108101, member: 92486"] So I've got a PB G4 that all of a sudden won't boot past the white screen. Sometimes it's blank, sometimes it has the apple and spinning icon. From what I've read, it's likely that something is wrong with the motherboard? At some point I'm going to bring it into the Genius Bar to get the bad news, but before then, I've got files on there that I need for work. Does it sound like the HDD is still functioning? I'm about to order a 2.5" enclosure; this should work with the PB HDD, right? (never done much with Mac components, installing/removing, etc., just PC's). Thanks for the help! Brian [/QUOTE]
