HELP!

My friend brought his iBook G4 over to my place to use the internet to update his software. During the update download and install, the screen went black and never came back on (it wouldn't wake up with the space bar or touch pad). Now, when we try to boot - it just sits at the white initial screen with the spinning lines.

I have tried booting from a 10.3 CD and running Disk Utility to repair disk and permission. It repaired some CoreServices permissions, but didn't fix the no booting problem.

Anyone got any ideas? He was running 10.3.3 before the "update".
 
Did you have the power adaptor connected while doing the download & install?

How many times did you run Disk Utility? Do you have Disk Warrior? I'd try that.

You may need to do an archive and install, preserving user and settings.
