Thanks for all your tips guys... Eldiabloconcaca.. this was one last tip I received from a Techie.. and funny enough it asks to RESTART.. no Joy. DeltaMac.. that may be a good idea as I always get a "flash" on the screen as if it cannot link to the HD. Doctor X .. the Gurus posted it here...

I have a G4 iBook. 1,07ghz 60GB HD. It has a unique problem I have been totally unable to resolve. It brings up a flashing Q mark whenever I try a software restart. his is a restart from anywhere on the iBook except the on/off button. Aoole menu ..RESTART. Software update ..RESTART...

You really do need to get an Install CD/DVD if pos, any would do like a Panther, Tiger or Leopard as then you could load it holding down the "C" key and at get to Disk Utility via the options menu at the header which would allow you to Repair Permissions at least. Have you also tried option...

You say the Macbook started to freeze and you also say the Programs freeze.. can you access other files if one freezes? If it is the macbook that freezzez all the time could be a Motherboard Issue. Try running Disk Utility... or ONYX from Titanium Software (FREE) to repair your Permissions and...

Do you get these issues when you just use the power cable with the battery NOT IN? That would eliminate the battery or point to it as being the cause. White, Grey and Blue screens nearly always point to Motherboard issues. If your Mac worked wirh the PRAM reset.. then try removing the extra...

If the drive is alive.. you can access your files via another Mac..get a Firewire cable... connect two Macs... boot the bad one holding down the "T" ket and wait for the firewire symbol.. then boot the other Mac.. the HD will appear on the desktop if it is still useable.. this way you can get...

... and the lesson here is?.. Back up.. Back UP.. BACK UP! With Time Machine you now have NO EXCUSES whatsoever.. it is a dream.

Thanks for the follow up, you just keep learning about these crazy machines all the time. Sacriledge.. PC's are crazy machines.. MACS are HEAVEN!

The Flat Panel IS WIRELESS CAPABLE.. but you need to add an Airport Card and have a Router of course. The Airport Card fits under the base.. maybe an Extreme or an Airport Original. I am not sure how you would get the two Macs to the internet in your current set up.

A flashing Q mark at startup generally means the HD has packed in. If you have the possiblilty of linking the iBook to another Mac.. get a Firewire cable.. link the two macs together..start YOUR ibook holding down the "T" key and wait for the Firewire Symbol to appear. Start up the other Mac and...

Sounds very bizzare.. could it be the 1st Mac Virus? Try using ONXY from Titanium software http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html super FREE repair utility..!

Hi There ...try re-setting the PRAM.. hold Alt+Apple+P+R, re-boot and let it chime three times (lots of fingers) let go.. this might get it back. Alternatively try this.. PMU Re-set.. SHIFT..CONTROL..OPTION then Power On. Let go and power on again, might come back. Finally, Open Firmware...

Make lots of space..AND TIME.. note where all the screws come from there's LOTS... use a SPLUDGER.. be patient.. follow the ifixit site..it's BRILLIANT.. before putting it all back together try to 'boot it' to make sure it works before you have to UNDO it all again just in case...good luck..Jimbo

Hi There, sorry this might be a wild guess but it could be something to do with the Mybook drive seeing 10.4 and not liking 10.2.8.. is it a pain to upgrade to 10.4 to see itf it will talk to the G3?

Hi There looks like one of two problems. Either the screen has gone or the Motherboard. If you can link your Mac to another screen with a VGA cable.. this will determine if the MB is ok and the screen is defunct. Try putting pressure on the bottom left hand side of the powerbook near the...

Hi guys, suggest you go all the way to 10.4.11, there may be a glitch somewhere at 10.4.2 . If you can use it outside your WI-FI at home I am guessing it's is possible the Router that is now not up-to date.

Hi, If you are still stuck and needing an Airport Card card I have some.

Seems a tad faster .. certainly not slower.. always difficult to tell on a weekend Jimbo

Hi There, You need Tiger 10.4.0 on CD or DVD. That is the next version after 10.3.9. You can then update via Software Update to 10.4.11 before you hit Leopard. Jimbo jim.robinson33@ntlworld.com

Nine times out of ten it is the HD when a question mark appears but could be the Motherboard. Re-Start the machine in single-user mode my holding down the 's' key At the # prompt, type: fsck -y The fsck utility will go through five 'phases' and then return information about the disk's...
