Hello,
Something very strange happened yesterday...
I own a Powerbook G4 and ive had it 3 years or more with no problems at all.
Now my battery is one of those dead ones which does not store any power.
Basically what happened is my charger came out which instantly turning my laptop off. This happened many many many times in the past with no problems at all when i boot back up.
But yesterday i booted back up and it said i was connected to my wireless router but then when i try using the internet nothing at all happens, it says FAILED TO OPEN PAGE.
So then i decided to turn off airport and put it back on again and try to reconnect to my router. All that happens after that is i get the little multicolored swirling "loading" sign. And it crashes. The same thing happens when i try to enter a WEP key too.
Ive tried rebooting my machine and ive also tried rebooting my router. I just dont know what to do. Unlike windows mac does not have a system restore so i cant change the settings back (if it is the settings). And i dont see how a loss of power supply to my laptop could break my wireless card.
Please help guys im so worried, i will be coming back and checking this forum all day (im using my own windows laptop right now). Thanks so much for your help!
BTW: I dont think i have mac care, or a warrenty and i also dont know where the reinstall CD (to restore my mac to factory conditions).
