Q: How do I get OS 10 back onto my old Powerbook G4?

A DVD got stuck in my old Powerbook G4, so I followed some online instuctions to take it apart, access the DVD drive and fish out the stuck DVD.

I then followed the process to replace all the relevant parts and leads etc.

But when I switched it back on, it has reverted to OS 9.2 - which takes me back, and is not where I want to be!

So does anyone have any advice on next steps?

Does it suggest I have put the machine back together incorrectly and missed something?

Or should I just stick in the original OS X disks into the drive and reload? ...what could possibly go wrong?

With thanks and best wishes
