Hi all-
I recently had a reoccurrence of a problem I ran into about 9
mo. ago, and hope you can help. My PB froze the other day, a fairly
rare occurrence. I restarted it , but the HD spun up, ran for maybe
5-10 seconds, then just stalled, leaving me with a question-mark disk
on the screen. I had to pull the plug and pop out the battery to shut
down. Kept doing this, til I gave it a few hours 'rest'. Now I'm
backing it up to my G4, before I lose anything. Ive got an IBM 10 gig
HD which I replaced under warrantee for the same problem last time,
but I suspect now that the HD itself isn't the problem. Could it be a
heat issue? The fan had kicked on, but after I ejected my Capsure
video card, it ran a few minutes then kicked off. I tried pressing on
as many connectors and plugs as I could find to make sure they're all
seated properly, but I don't know yet if that's it. Any ideas?
TIA,
Marty Lindower
