Hi Muggers A list colleague from Bunbury has rung in some distress because his new(ish) iBook is refusing to boot up properly after installing OS X. He has rung me to see if I can get some help from the list. The iBook will chime as per usual at start up, but with no screen display. I have searched the archives and found one message referring to a similar problem with an iBook and OSX which was solved by zapping the PRAM, but unfortunately the iBook in question also refuses to be zapped it won¹t chime any more than once. Strangely, he can¹t open the CD drawer to try and boot from disc, so we are a bit flummoxed. I¹m not familiar with the iBook or OSX, so my phone ministrations have not been much help beyond the basic trouble shooting.
The machine is a new style iBook with 128MB RAM not sure of the processor size which had been operating very happily on OS 9. If anyone can help, I¹ll relay the info. Cheers Neil [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
