Gentlemen, neither method worked. I suspect it has had a power management issue for awhile now, since the trackpad would intermittently freeze and require several restarts to unfreeze. Any more drastic measures I can take? In the worst case scenario, would any of the internals fit or transfer into a G3 dual usb 500 iBook? Memory, hard drive, airport extreme card? I'd be keen to try to save the hard drive; this has been my main mac lately. It is the final G4 iBook made, I believe.
