The problem started when I put my powerbook G4 to sleep by closing the lid. When I came back to it after a couple of minutes, the HDD was spinning- with the lid closed- and when I opened the lid to wake up the computer, it stopped spining and the screen didn't come on. I closed it again and tried to wake it up again but the same thing happened. Nothing I pressed on the keyboard could wake it up either. All this time, if the lid was down the disk was spinning, and when the lid was up, it wasn't. Also, at no time was the little light on the lid button blinking either.
Next I shut it down by holding the start button down for a couple seconds and it turned off normally. When I went to start it again, it turned on normally. However, before my desktop could come up, I got a promt which said-
"You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button."
I did what it said and restarted it. As before, all was normal until I got that same prompt. I did the same thing several times more but there was no change.
I have no idea what to do now. Please help.
