I had dropped My G4 Powerbook once.Since then it wouldn'th go beyond the 'spinning circle" sign. Then I tried to boot it through my System restore and install CD , repaired my HD and installed the OS successfully. The previous data was archived under a new folder. But the next day though the system could boot to the desktop, and I could access all my files, the system ran extremely slow. It took about 7-8 mins to boot.
I tried to burn all the data into CD's but the "burn" sign doesnt show anymore as it did before and I could not burn my data.I had to restart my powerbook numerous times as it appeared to hung performing tasks. Then after one of the shutdowns even the "spinning circle" sign disappeared!And the system now wont boot at all!
Please help!
 
A couple possibilities. First, remove and reinstall the RAM in your Powerbook, dropping it may have unseated a module to cause your bad behavior.

Now the bad news. You may well have damaged your hard drive in the drop. If this is the case, you need to get your important data off any way you can, asap. Getting your hands on an external hard drive is your best bet. Good luck.
