HI
I am going to make the problem that I have more clear.
Spec: iBook G3
500Mhz
364Mb Ram
10GB Hard drive
Problem: One i booted up my iBook and it came up with a black Screen (the
one that tell you to hold down the power button and restart). I was told at
first it was the logic board. But i tried to boot it up again it can to a
stage of a blue screen with a spinning wheel, so i talk to my friend who is
a Mac expert, he said it was the OS thats stuffed. He had no discs i could
use so i linked it to his Mac and retrieved the files i wanted and that was
it.
6 months later : Replaced it with a MacBook
1 year later from Black screen: Pulled it out of the closet and tried to fix
it with a 10.2 install disc. I booted the iBook up from the disc no problem
and i started the install i had to reformat the Hard drive therefore wiping
everything off it. I continued the install it finished fine. I hit the
restart button to boot it up into a new clean install of Mac OS X 10.2. But
it just can up with a folder with a flashing question mark and the finder
icon. I ran target disk mode on the iBook so i could see what the problem
was with my MacBook using disk utility the result was this.
Verify: Verifying volume “Untitled 1”
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Invalid B-tree node size
Volume check failed.
* Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.*
The same happen for the repair. I pulled my iBook apart to see if something
had unplugged. I just came up with the same thing.
Solution: Please help me fix my first mac any ideas will be appreciated!
