Greetings Listers,
My Wife's G3 iBook 800 (dual USB) has died (as I've told her it
eventually would!), but I'm not sure how or why.
Booting it up slowly brings us to the question-mark folder-icon. I've
run the hardware check disc that came with the iBook and everything
checks out fine. When I attempt to start off a system CD I get the
slash-circle icon, it does not see the system CD (I tried both the
Tiger CD and an old Jaguar one, I no longer have the Panther CD). I
also tried to start it in FW target mode from my PowerBook 1.25, but
nothing happened- iBook whirred a bit, no screen, no disc showing up
on the Powerbook finder.
I'd recently installed Tiger onto the iBook, on top of Panther. Tiger
worked OK but slow (256 MB RAM) for a couple of days before this
problem.
So I figure the HD is dead, buut why can't it boot off a system CD?!
Thanks!
Matthew of the BeerBook
