kernel panic after physical damage
Hello all---
My Powerbook took a rather nasty fall off the coffee table some days ago - the power adapter prong was bent and the power input was dented. I sent off for a new adapter (which needed to be done before the accident - electrical tape can only do so much), which came in today and still fits and operates. However, once I was able to start up my computer, I was confronted with a kernel panic that has persisted throughout the day. I cannot imagine this is due to a software issue, as it worked just fine before the accident and no files out of the ordinary were deleted or moved. New RAM seems to be a common cause for this - I did install 1gb some months ago and experienced no problem whatsoever.
Any ideas? Thanks
