G4 Powerbook power problems

2012-06-08 Thread MacMini-Dave
My wife has a G4 Powerbook. We replaced the AC adapter cord once
already, but it is not charging again. I have carefully pinched the
metal part to make it fit more tightly, but still no power. The
battery is weak, but it was still working as of two days ago. I don't
need it to work for long, just long enough to copy a document to a
thumbdrive.

I don't know anyone in the area with a battery that we could swap
until the job is done.

Help!

G4 won't boot from the HD

2009-08-11 Thread MacMini-Dave

My son's G4 won't boot from the HD. I opened it in target mode
and used Disk Utility. These are the messages I am getting:

Under Verify and Repair
Invalid sibling link
Volume check failed
The underlying task reported failure on exit

What would be my next steps without erasing the HD?

Thank you so much!

Dave Nelson

P.S. I cannot mount the drive when in target mode and in the Disk
Utility the HD is grayed out.
