Q: My mom's IBOOK late 2001 G4 will not boot

Hi. My Mom's Ibook will not boot up. She was trying to download something, she doesn't remember what, and somehow froze the boot. I tried to get into safe mode by holding down the shift key but that didn't work. I tried the turn off/on didn't work. I have the same book and it runs perfectly. I also tried to recover from a disc (purchased not bootleg) I have tried the following: OS X 10, recovery 1-4, appplications, hardware test and nothing happens. I used an external CD rom just in case. The ibook turns on, the logo appears and the cursor just spins- for hours. I have no idea what to try next. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be great. I am hoping not to have to send it in. If  you need anymore info, please just ask. I will respond as quickly as possible. Thank you!

iBook, Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier
