I just had a coworker with a G4 iBook have a similar problem, only his quit and would not restart after pressing on the case. We searched the Apple.com support tab for something along the lines of "ibook power manager reset". There is a key combo that will reset the internal power manager. His machine did the rebong and all is now well. Good luck Andy On Aug 22, 2007, at 12:37 AM, Greg Schoettmer wrote:
