Flea Market buy G4 Tower, won't startup properly

Dragged home an old G4 from the Flea Market. Plugged it into a monitor and keyboard. Chime a bit distorted on initial start-up, then got clearer on following start-ups, hard drive sounded glitchy, then busy. black screen, then slowly a blue screen, then slowly the default blue desktop background. No dock, or top menu bar. No evidence of OS starting up, meaning logo etc.
I pulled the pram battery, and replaced with a known good one, blew the dust out of it with compressed air. Tried several cd/dvd install discs, tried booting from a firewire hard drive, just seems to ignore this. Zapped the PRAM. Pushed the little button next to the PRAM battery (reckless).
Observations: Makes a "zwerp" sound on start-up. 2 hard drives installed, I have tried each alone. Mouse cursor works and I am able to eject the dvd player pushing F12. Has 3 strips of ram,2 are "Legacy" brand tried it with the other 1, not sure of brand, but recognized the logo.
Ideas?

You should have also received the discs that were bundled with the Mac. If you didn't, you should return the Mac, and tell the people selling it they need to get the prebundled CDs with it.
While in principal this is how things should work, in reality (given the number of posts on AD by people who have misplaced their original discs) I think very few people have original discs, especially for ancient Macs being sold for $20. The OP could return the computer, and then the seller would just sell it to somebody else. In all honesty I doubt somebody is going to say, "Oh, I should just junk this computer since I really shouldn't sell it to somebody because I no longer have the original discs." Yes, the seller could try ordering replacement discs from Apple - if Apple still has them for a computer than vintage, and the seller has to factor in the $30 or $40 Apple would charge them, when they are only asking $20 for the computer.
Otherwise you can't test the hardware that came with the Mac.
Here's the list and downloads for AHT if you have an old G4...

No AHT available for Sawtooth, try TechToolPro instead.

  • My iMac won't startup properly

    Hi.  I was repairing permissions on my iMac which I had not done for a long while.
    On start up I get the chime and then the grey screen, then grey screen with apple logo and the rotating timer icon.  After about thirty seconds, the fans ramp up to full speed and about five seconds later the computer dies.
    Any ideas?

    It sounds as if your power supply may be failing.  Try booting from your install disc and repair with
    Disk Utility
       1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
       2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
          Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
       3. Click the First Aid tab.
       4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
       5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
       6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    Then boot from your internal drive and repair permissions again.
    Let us know how you make out.

  • My Macbook A1181 won't startup. After turn on I get white screen with a folder sign with question mark in the center.

    My Macbook won't startup. After turn on, I get a white background screen with a folder icon (question mark inside) in the center. this icon even blinks
    The battery is charging.

    It sounds like your hard drive is bad. If you can see it in Disk Utility you may still be able to get your files off of it. If you have one of the MacBooks with the removable battery it's very easy to put in a new hard drive.
    Here's instructions on replacing your hard drive http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088
    To buy a hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives
    Here's a cheap SATA external hard drive case on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-2-5-SATA-HDD-HARD-DRIVE-EXTERNAL-ENCLOSURE-CASE-BOX-/120 636286623?pt=PCC_Drives_Storage_Internal&hash=item1c167ba69f
    Put your old hard drive in an external case and after you've formatted your new hard drive and installed your operating system on it plug in your old hard drive and see if it is recognized by the new system. If so then transfer whatever files you want to the new hard drive

  • What Can I do? Powerbook won't startup/Reinstall interupted/corrupted

    Hi
    1)imovie crashed and froze everything (finder too) on saving.
    2)Now can't log in to my main admin account. Freezes after selecting it in the startup screen. It takes a LONG time to get to the users login screen.
    3)Repaired Perms./Verified Disk using startup disk. No errors. Still No go.
    4)I have a second account (also admin!)- It's ok.
    I wouldn't be averse to deleteing an account but I need to get all my emails etc. from there.
    Uh Oh
    Well I made a fatal error!!!
    I tried reinstalling OSX and archiving the users/settings...The installer couldn't finish.
    Now the Mac won't startup
    and won't work in Target disk mode!TDM just freezes both computers.
    Hard drive test shows no errors. Can't check permissions though. This always stops with an error saying try again.
    My only hope will be to go and buy disk warrior tomorrow and see if I can save something from the drive B4 a complete reinstall.
    Any Suggestions? Please?

    First have you tried booting the computer from another hard drive (eg a firewire drive using the option button at startup) to see if it's a hardware problem or software problem (or a physical problem with teh internal hard drive)
    based on you saying that it takes a long time to get to the login screen and target mode does not work i'd speculate that the hard drive might be on it's way out. This is what most users tend to say when there hard drive is failing. The next thing you usualy get is a horrible whiring sound. hardware test such as those in techtool don't allways show hard drive falure, my internal one recently died and techtool reports everything is within normal paramaters (even S.M.A.R.T !)
    if you manage to gain access to your hard drive by whatever means then i'd suggest backing up everything you need and wiping it. then try a fresh install.
    it may also help to reset the non volotile ram. to do this you need to hold commandoption+of to enter open firmware mode, then type "reset-nvram" followed by return and then "reset-all" followed by return. it will ask you for a password if you added one using the firmware utility.

    My Desktop Mac won't startup, it turns on to the grey screen flashing question file. I have been able to startup from the snow leopard install cd but once I try to repair within DU the disk never appears in the side panel. The only thing there is "Media"... What can I do? Help!

    If Disk Utility cannot see your drive it doesn't look good.
    You could try DiskWarrior. It is expensive but can often fix directory structures where DU cannot.
    Replacing the drive is also a strong likelihood. If you don't have a fairly recent backup, then it might be worth buying DiskWarrior

  • Installed helpdesk to sles11sp1 vmware and won't startup

    Hi,
    I installed the service desk to sles11sp1 for vmware and it won't startup.
    I am also running zenworks configuration mgmt 11 RC3 on the same server.
    I installed with:
    java -install install.jar -console
    When prompted for a port I took the default 8700. It gave me a null and then prompted for a 1 to continue. So I selected 1 and continued.
    If I http://ip:8700 I get nothing.
    If I netstat -a -n|grep 8700 I get nothing.
    What do I need to do to get this to work? Also I thought I could get this service desk integrated with zenworks configuration management?

  • 2nd Gen iPad Mini stopped working yesterday.  Won't startup under and configuration and is not recognized by my iMac.

    2nd Gen iPad Mini stopped working yesterday.  Won't startup under and configuration and is not recognized by my iMac.  I believe it upgraded itself to iOS 8 (????)

    Hey Kenneth,
    So it sounds as if your iPad is not responding at all when you try to turn it on, is that correct? If so, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    If you get it to start up and it is still not recognized by iTunes on your Mac, use the steps in this article to troubleshoot that issue -
    If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Happy computing,

  • My TC won't startup with ethernet cables connected.

    It will start up fine w/out ethernet cables, but with ethernet, it won't startup.  I have two wired connections, my thunderbolt display/mbp and my cannon printer.
    It will sit with amber light solid.
    When I disconnect the two ethernet cables, it will startup fine.  Then I connect the two cables and everything is good. 
    This is a new from apple store today 2tb TC.  It's taken about 2 hours to get it setup until now I've figured out the ethernet cable issue.  Is there a fix?  I'm probably going to exchange it tomorrow or in the next couple of days if there's no fix provided.

    Well, it's working fine today.  I'll continue to try it over the next couple of days and if it happens more, I'll take it back for an exchange.  It happend quite a few times last night.
    I have apple care for my mbp, so this should be covered on it.  About 1.5 years left.
    Thanks.
    I'll update this post if I end up needing to exchange it.

  • My G4 AGP won't startup after turning on firewire target disk mode

    Can any one help me on this? I have a G4 AGP Graphics Mac running 10.4.11.
    I turned on firewire target disk mode in the startup utilities to transfer files to my G5. The G4 started up in Firewire just fine and I could open it up as a drive on my G5, but the problem now is that the G4 won't startup in anything but firewire mode.
    So my question is: How do you shut off the firewire target disk mode? I have tried all the keyboard commands at startup and inserted the Tiger install disk and holding the C key, but nothing will let me get me passed the Firewire Icon at startup.
    Any help would be appeciated, Thanks.

  • Just bought 3 ipads at the flea market over the weekend. all 3 were in unopened boxes. 2 of the ipads synced just fine and are working great. the 3rd however says it is linked to an email already. does this mean it is stolen or what

    just bought 3 ipads for the family over the weekend at the flea market. they were all in closed sealed boxes. 2 ipads synced just fine and are working great. the 3rd however is being an issue. it says that it is already linked to an email. does that mean it is stolen? all material and serial nu,bers match up everywhere. was wondering if this could be fixed by me, apple store, or should i be a good samaritian and turn it over to the police with the receipt and where and who i bought it from?

    Or it could simply have been sold by someone that didn't know enough to wipe it.
    You could check with the police, see if they have it listed as stolen.
    If you can get into the settings of that ipad you can 'erase all content and settings' and start fresh.

  • Kernal Panic after update to 10.4.6/Missing HD Space/Won't Startup from DVD

    Sorry to lump three problems together, but they may all be related.
    First - I was getting random Kernal Panics while at 10.4.5, so I attempted to update to 10.4.6. The computer wouldn't even come close to starting up. I got a screen full of Kernal Panic info. I reinstalled Tiger 10.4.3, and that's where the system stands now. It's running fine.
    Second - My computer suddenly announced that the startup drive was out of disk space. I looked and the window said 30g. I closed the window and opened it again only to see it at zero k. I dumped some items to get some disk space, but now I can't get my 30g back.
    Third - I want to startup from the Tiger disk like I did when I reinstalled, but it won't startup from the DVD. I'd like to run Disk Repair on the main hard drive. It showed some errors when I ran a Test using the Disk Utility.
    I'm hoping this is all related. The computer seems to be running fine, but I can't update or find my missing space. Any advice I can get on these issues would be appreciated. Thanks.
    Jon

    Is your computer saving a panic.log after each of the kernel panics? You can see by opening Console (in /Applications/Utilities) and looking for it. I'm not at my Mac now, so I can't tell you under what section to look for that log.
    When you try to boot from the CD, are you holding down the 'C' key as the computer reboots? You can also try rebooting with the Option key pressed, which will present you with a list of bootable volumes. It will also give you access to the Apple Hardware Test (if this is the DVD that came with the computer). If you can select the Apple Hardware Test, I'd recommend doing the Extended Test, which will test the hardware, including the RAM.
    For the disappearing disk space, you could have some process that is going bezerk and filling up the log files. In any event, to see where you disk space is being used, download and run Omni DiskSweeper.

    Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Boot from your install disc, run Disk Utility in case the G5 disk needs repairs.
    Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    *(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
    If you cannot boot from your install disc, try booting in Safe Mode
    What is Safe Mode
