IBook G3 wont start...nothing happens...Please help!

Hiya Everyone,
My iBook G3 wont start-up. It was fine yesterday but today when i turned tried to turn it on it was completely unresponsive.
When presing the power button nothing happens, no hard drive spin up, no noises...nothing.
This ever happened to anyone before?
All help greatly appreciated.
Daniel.

I'm sorry, Dean, but the Geniuses were correct. The iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program is not a recall in the truest sense of the word, and only covers the specific logic board problem dealing with video. It has never covered any and all logic board problems.
Enjoy that new MacBook!
If you want to sell the non-working iBook, PowerBook Tech buys them and parts them out. You may want to check them out.

  • Trying to order book but nothing happens PLEASE HELP

    Hi I'm trying to order a book and when I click buy book the connecting window appears but then nothing happens. I checked my permissions and they are ok. Please help me. Is it because i bought the software with a friend but he registered and not me?? please help trying to make it so i can get it before the 21st,
    thanks so much
    Adriana

    PROBLEM:
    1) after creating a book, clicking on the "Buy Book" button does absolutely nothing.
    2) after selecting a photo, I can't choose "order prints" from the "share" menu as it is grayed out.
    I finally took my computer to a genius bar at an Apple Store. My problem is solved. Here is what happened:
    The genius tried several things:
    • running Disk Utility (verifying disk permissions & verifying the disk),
    • making a guest account to see if same error still occurs (it did),
    • checking for software updates, &
    • having various internet browsers (i.e.: Safari rather than Firefox) set as the default.
    None of these fixed the problem.
    He also searched online for a remedy and discussed the problem with at least one other mac genius.
    Next he used the Console utility and looked at some log (I am not certain on the specifics here). He said he could see some past mentions of iPhoto in it. He did not explain, but he seemed interested in what he found using Console.
    He had booted from his own external hard drive to run Disk Utility. This external hard drive also happened to have the iPhoto software on it. So he ran iPhoto, using my computer but using the external hard drive for the start up disk, using the software from the external drive…. NO PROBLEM (i.e.: the “order print” button was NOT grey when he selected a photo; we did not go through the trouble of creating a book to try to order).
    He found mention, on the Apple discussion board, that a genius had fixed said problem by replacing the iPhoto software (i.e.: reloading the software). I too recall reading this several months ago somewhere, but I can’t find it now.
    So he renamed my application “iPhoto Old” and copied the iPhoto application from his external drive to my hard drive. Now my problems are solved. I deleted the “iPhoto old” application file. Both applications (the iPhoto I had on my computer & the iPhoto he had on his external drive) were ver 6.0.5.
    I discussed with him about how to tell others (you) how to solve this problem. He said it is not simple to reload iPhoto because iLife does not let you re-install just iPhoto. Also, he mentioned something about fooling the computer into knowing what version you have and that Software Update would have problems. I wish I knew more. He made it sound like you should take it to a Genius Bar until Apple makes it possible to re-install just iPhoto software.
    I hope this info is helpful to end-users and Mac Geniuses out there. I wish I had my problem fixed months ago so that I would have been able to order photo books for holiday gifts. ☹

  • I have installed firefox and now have the icon but when i double click on ,nothing happens, please help

    I am trying to change web browser from internet explorer to firefox, I have downloaded firefox but I am not able to use the icon . Nothing happens when I click on to use it. please help.

    In case you haven't solved this by now...
    Sometimes your security software will block new programs from accessing the internet. Are you getting any alerts along those lines?
    Sometimes Firefox will stall during startup and never display its window. In that case, you may need to manually "kill" the firefox.exe process using the Windows Task Manager before trying to start Firefox again.
    You can display the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Esc. Windows 8.1 has a different display than Windows 7, so I have to go by memory. If you see a tab named Applications, check that one first. Then check Processes, and finally check Details. If you find Firefox or firefox.exe on any of those tabs, select it and End Process (or other action to shut it down).
    After you are done with the Task Manager, try starting Firefox up again.

  • My i pad wont turn on its not dead or cracked i tried holding the lock and home bhappened please help i nned my i pad for classutton while it was charging like i saw online and nothing happened please help i nned my i pad for class

    my i pad wont turn on its not dead or cracked i tried holding the lock and home button while it was charging like i saw online and nothing

    Try to hold the sleep and home keys for about 20-30 seconds. See if you can force it to reboot.
    My iPad did something similar, as did my iPod. I charged it and it turned black, the screen wouldn't turn on but the insides were still working. A reset brought it back.

    firefox won't start at all

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The hotness suggests a hardware problem

  • Ibook won't start up. Please help

    Hi, i have a ibook G4 running OS X, which will not turn on properly. When i turn it on you can hear the start up noise and the screen with the apple logo and the little loading circle comes up. But after a little while on that screen it will just turn it self off again.
    I have run the apple hardware test of the instillation disc and it said everything is fine.
    I have tryed resetting the PRAM, but still the same thing happens when starting up.
    I have tryed resetting the PMU, but still the same thing happens when starting up.
    I don't know what to do next. Any help would be great.
    Thanks.

    One last question, is there any freeware that will do the same job as Disk Warrior.
    It's not free, but Data Rescue II is here:
    http://www.prosofteng.com/products/datarescueinfo.php
    The advantage is that you can download a free demo and see if you can even rescue your drive. If the demo works you can pull 5 MBs out of your down drive then pay for the full up version if you want.
    If it doesn't work you don't have to waste the money and Disk Warrior is most likely not going to work any better. I've had Data Rescue II work twice in the last few months when Disk Warrior said it couldn't.

  • HT201401 Iphone wont start, issue! Please help

    Iphone is detected in iTunes, and a recovery mode is detected, but the phone just wont power up, even after hours of wall charging.. Please help

    You say Recovery Mode is detected by iTunes. Restore the Firmware with iTunes, when done, it will be obvious if Restore was successful. If not, there will be Error Code which you can look up solution. If Restore fails iPhone is most likely beyond repair. If Restore is successful, but screen is still not functioning, either screen is faulty or Logic Board display controllers are faulty, try entire front screen assembly replacement. During all this if you decide iPhone is broken, replacement at Apple Store is only $149, unless you have Warranty or AppkeCare Coverage which it will be free.

    Hello AlexCornejo,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The screen you're seeing on your iPhone indicates it is in recovery mode.  Now since the device is not appearing in iTunes on your PC, first follow the steps in this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    After following those steps, you should be able to restore your iPhone.
    Take care,
    Alex H.
