Q: My PowerBook 165c...Please help me fi problem Before School Starts. Read
Hi!
Its almost time for the 7th Grade school year to begin and i just got home from Ohio with a Powerbook 165c! Boy did I think great thoughts about this antique and how it would help me throughout junior high, until this morning, when four the umpteenth time i booted the machine expecting it to start just as normal as it had the two weeks before. Nope! It gave me the Apple sound which we all love then, nothing came on the screen...no "Welcome to Macintosh"... Not even the little picture of the mac. then came the sound which i dread...DoDoDo(High tone)...DumDumDum(low tone) I called the guy up asking him whet was up and he said this has only happened once before on the same machine and he said, the next time i boot it it should be fine. HA! Nope! Please help me and please note i have no boot disks and the hard drive still whirs just fine. Please send results!
