Won't boot, Bluetooth keyboard, now swallowed install disc
My G5 Tiger iMac was put in the spare room when I upgraded my iMac some time ago. I went to boot it up the other day (for the first time in quite a few months - possibly a year) and got a grey screen with the spinning icon (not the beach ball). It did this for about half a minute and then the fan kicked in and made it sound like a jet plane. This continued indefinitely, until I forced it to power off by holding in the power button.
So I inserted the G5 install disc (not the Tiger upgrade DVD, so would have been 10.2). The SuperDrive took the disc OK. However, the only keyboard I have is a wireless one. I assume that the iMac is not receiving a bluetooth signal during the boot up process..?
The same thing is happening - I don;t get past the grey Apple logo and spinning icon and the fan kicks into overdrive
Any ideas on how I can get the thing to boot? I don't have a wired keyboard with me, and the only one I'm likely to be able to get hold of is a Windows one.
Thanks,
iMac G5, Intel iMac, Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.5.6)
