Hi Daniel,

My initial suspicion, given your description of the symptoms, is that the hard drive may have died. Can your friend startup from the OS DVD that came with the iBook. If he has any utility software (DiskWarrior, Drive Genius, Tech Tool Pro etc) is he able to startup from those?

If the iBook is within warranty the repair can be done by Apple or any independant Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) without charge.

Daniel- It sounds like it has something to do with your sound settings. Go to system preferences and click on sound....If you scroll across each sound , you can hear them. Glass is one of the choices. Don't know why the burp sound and why it died.
If it continues, advise called Apple techs.
