I have a PB G3 and when I tried to turn it on again I now get a flashing folder
with a question mark and then OS symbol. I suspect that the system has lost it
blessedness. What do I need to do

Any help appreciated

John

Depending on which PowerBook G3 400 you've got you can reboot with the option key held down and see if you can select the boot drive. You could certainly do this with the Pismo model.

Have fun,
