That sounds like the chimes of death. Were they kind of sour notes that would belong in a funeral? My 540C makes that sound from time to time. I just yank out both batteries and the adaptor and hold down the apple, option, ctrl and power buttons for a few seconds and then boot the sucker again. Disconnecting all power from it is the main thing, though I think. It also might be wise to walk away from it for a minute or two while it is disconnected. This gives you both a chance to breathe and lessens the chance of an airborn powerbook. ;) God Bless, Rick
