Did that, and also a few things on the phone w/ Apple. My local (well not really) apple store/repair center looked at it, there were no signs of physical damage were my fault. My school sent it back to apple for me (still under academic warranty), because their troubleshooting failed as well...

Every time I try to start my powerbook g4, a message comes up in 4 languages that I have to restart my system and won't let me do anything else. It reads : "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the restart button." Its inside of a black box...

Hey there. I dropped my PowerBook G4 15" a few days ago, didn't do any hardware damage but left a nice ding along the front on the bottom, machine still runs as smooth as silk, and I took it to a Mac repair specialist who told me it would run about 400 or so bucks w/ labor to replace the bottom...

Bought an EHD 80 gig HD w/ case on ebay. Loaded 20 gigs worth of songs, videos, documents, and picture files on it with windows XP via usb2.0. Saved fine, all files will open on windows. Problem: my MAC reads the HD, but every time I go to open a file, the mouse goes to "busy" and the computer...

Hey again. I appreciate the feedback. I don't know the format of the harddrive. What happens is my powerbook reads all of the folders and you can get in the folder, but when I try to either open any of them or tranfer them to my hard disk, the system sort of freezes up. The mouse turns to busy...
