Q: not booting

if a ibook doesn't boot you need to restart the pram by holding down the option cmd and power button until you hear a bong then let go

but if that gets it to the boot screen but it randomly powers off then you need to take 10.4 tiger or the original install cds insert them in to the

cd drive of your ibook g3 or g4 12 or 14 inches then while it is booting hold down option and you select the cd as your boot disk when you boot up in to the mac os x installer don't reinstall os x just go to uitilies and select disk uitility and click on your hard drive and then click repair, but if that dos not work then use the appclaction install disk and hold down the d key and it will run a hardware test but if that doe's not work then you need to get new ram of hard drive or god knows what.

iBook, Mac OS X (10.4)
