Hi there, i just posted this in the Q/R section of the site but id love more input so please help out!
im using an ibook G3 running on Mac OS X 10.2.8 (im posting this from another computer though)
the other day i restarted my computer and the mouse was just frozen in the top left hand corner, i tried using the mouse pad and an external mouse and both did not work. i could move around using the arrows on the keyboard though. furthermore, the airport signal symbol at the top was missing. i restarted a few times and there was no difference.
I restarted in safe mode too and from there i had mouse mobility. i ran a verify disk permissions twice and both times it never finished, it would just come very close to the end and then stop. i did the same thing with repair disk permissions and it had the same outcome. on safe mode too there was no airport signal symbol so i tried to open internet connect, internet connect stated that it could not locate an airport card.
after this i restarted again in normal mode and the problem is still there,
Today i ran an Apple Hardware Test and no problems were detected. Next to modem it said "device found", im not computer savvy so i have no clue if that means the same thing as "passed".
please help!
Thank you so much
