iBook coming to the end of its life
Kia Ora Guys and Gals of Apple discussions...
Well I think my ibook has now come to the end of its life, I would be running an application (maybe 2) and then the whole system freezes over, yup I can't even move the mouse...
So I have to go ctrl+command+power to reset the ibook and have to reset the smc every time this happens (take out battery sources and other stuff hold power for 15 secs, re attach blah blah blah) then zap the pram (wow so much stuff)
Now the system is SNAIL Slow, turned it on... I herd the infamous tone (doooong) went to a greyish sorta screen (looks like system software background) then the apple logo! But no spinner....
Anyone reckon its hard drive failure for sure?
Oh wait just my luck, kernal panic when I moved it slightly...
So what do you think?
iBook, Mac OS X (10.4.11), G3, Model # M6497
