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!
