My pupil is in trouble. Starting her on a iMac DV SE slotloading
machine running OS X v. 10.3.3 all went well for two days. This morning
the machine refused to start up. Chimes yes but thereafter just a small
white square with a blue ball in the center. Never seen something like
that. Also no further start up. Tried to start in Safe Mode but no
change. Any other way to clear this, except starting from a bootable
CD? And what could have gone wrong so that it can be avoided in the
future.
I would boot off the Panther cd1 and go to disk utilities and repair preferences. If that doesn't help, then reinstall Panther.

Well the problem was short lived. My pupil rang me this morning and shouted: The Mac is a wonder! I pushed 81 keys and now the machine works.
I can't explain but seen it with my own eyes.
Thanks for your support, greetings, Andre.
