George, What do you mean when you say that the processor is 'ticking'?? I don't think they make any noise. Could it be because your hard drive is making that noise?
Your mention of 'ticking' reminded me of this: A little while ago, my Pismo hard drive started making a lot of clicking (ticking?) sounds just before it died. While it was making these sounds, disk access was extremely slow and the 'book was inoperable. I might Two questions: (i) Have you tried using the PowerBook Hardware Test CD? It should have come with your machine. That might help you figure out if a hardware component has died. (ii) Will your Powerbook start up OK if you use a OS 9 CD as the startup disk? If so, then maybe your hard drive is having problems. Hope this helps, Gene -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
