[QUOTE="The Saab Pimp, post: 37994"] nono, you have to force restart it. ok, try this: Press and hold Command (apple key)+Control+Power button for a second or so (this is the mac version of hitting Ctrl+Alt+Dlt twice), then press and hold Command+S. if nothing happens, i'm not sure what to tell you. The powercord plug going from green to amber is just stating the charge level of the battery. when the light is green, that means that the battery is charged and the power cord/cube is just powering the laptop while "trickle-charging" the battery (trickle-charging is where it doesn't actually "charge" it, it just gives it little bumps of juice periodically to keep it at 100%), and while the light is amber, that means that it's charging the battery. the white pulsating light on the front of the ibook is just the sleep light. it only comes on when the computer is in sleep mode. usually all you have to do to wake it up is open the ibook up, or press a key or something, but since that obviously isn't working, i'd say try what i mentioned above.
