Hi guys,
I have an interesting problem. I have a 500mhz G3 Powerbook that I
have been running OS 10.3.x on for several months without any
problems. All of a sudden it stopped booting up. The screen would
turn from grey to blue and then back to grey and stop booting up at
that point. I booted from a OS 10.3.x install disk and did a disk
repair and permissions, etc... with no effect. Eventually, I had to
erase the whole hard drive and start all over again. I loaded system
9.2.2 and then tried to load system 10.2 but every time I tried to
boot from the OS 10 install disk the powerbook would freak out and
start creating lines and shapes on the LCD screen. I updated the
firmware and updates to system 9.2.2 and tried again, with no success.
I also tried the system 10.3.x install disk and the same thing
happened.
So right now I have a computer that refuses to run on anything but
system 9! :-( What happened to all of a sudden cause this? help!
Others will know a lot more than me ,
but some faulty Ram will run OS9 but bomb out on Panther.
