So I was looking at the iBook today and realized that a capacitor is missing near the hard drive. The previous owner tried to repair it but failed to do so. I wasn't informed about it.
Yes it was the screen b/c I was able to screen share it to my iMac and it worked perfectly. I was able to edit some script for a video and play some old games that I had on there.
Hello, I just recently bought a screen for my iBook G4 and it wont display anything. I've tried Pram resets, and many power cycles on the iBook but nothing will work. The weird part about it is that when the OS boots it puts its self to sleep while the lid is open. I've unplugged the power cable...
I will try that!
I also have the error message on and it quotes...
These were errors installing the software
Please try installing again.
My only option is to restart
*It usually fails around extracting Base System 1*
A1062 iBook G4 (PowerBook 6,5)
1.6 GHZ
14 In Display
Original battery (Not original Ac adapter)
There is no os on it right now because the 80GB Hd got wiped.
On my install cd it says OS X 10.4 Install iBook G4. Ive done research about that disk and it matches my iBook, and it has the the built in ram and a single card of 250mb.
Also I did get it to boot but when I install it... It says it must be re-installed.
