It does NOT have a memory problem, so reseating the RAM is plain old bad advice. As for freezing the whole computer... OMG WTF?! Freezing a dying HD -- JUST the HD mechanism -- works *sometimes*, in order to kick it back to life long enough to extract some data. Other than that there is just NEVER EVER a reason to freeze a computer. Furthermore,,, even tho it was in a zip top type bag, there will be humidity within - frozen into the computer. So when you boot, you add heat - which will thaw that "frost", quickly adding liquid water to the computer's internals. THAT is a surefire way to DESTROY a laptop! - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
