| ibook g4 with OSX
Hello, I have a ibook g4 with OSX as my operating system. The problem that I am having is that when I turn on my laptop the message I get is that it is searching for printers while booting I get a blank black screen when the fan running load. Now, when I turn on my laptop I just get a blank black screen with the fan running really loud. I wanted to know if my battery inside my laptop may be bad or if I need to re-install or use a recovery disk to reload my OSX, or there may be something else wrong with it? Thank you. Jeanean  |

Can you boot to a system CD? Can you boot using Command+S ? Have you tried a power manager reset? Directions for your iBook can be found here:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449 |

Have you tried booting from the install disc at all?

Hold down the "C" key when you hear the startup chime. Keep it held down until it shows that it's booting from the disc.

I tried to boot from a system restore CD and nothing happens. The bad thing is that I cannot get the CD to eject. I have tried all the power manager resets listed on that link. If I just hold down the power button the laptop will not shut off. The only way I can get the laptop to shut down is to select shift + control + option + power button and my laptop powers off.
