Ibook G4 Turned off and I can't get it to turn back on

My Ibook G4 turned off while I was listening to music and won't go back on. It was plugged into the wall and the battery is charged. Help me!

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Check out Apple's Knowledge Base article on troubleshooting portables that won't turn on or start up.
Maybe something there will help.

  • HT1438 All of a sudden, my IPhone (3G) "turned off" and I can't get it to power back up.  I'm, therefore, reluctant to take the SIM card out to even check the serial number to contact tech support.  Any ideas?  Is there a reset button to try?

    All of a sudden my IPhone (3G, I think) "turned off" and won't power back up.  I know it's not the battery, but I have it plugged in anyway.  Any suggestions?

    Hold down the power and home buttons at the same time for 15-20 seconds. You should see the Apple logo and it should re-boot.

  • The air port on my imac went off and i can not get it to work

    my air port on the imac weny off and i can not get it to work now

    Apple used to use airport name for everything.. is this the internal wireless card?? Or external airport router?
    If it is the internal wireless card, is it still listed in system profile.. and do a hardware test with your original CD.
    See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
    The problems with Mavericks are very great.. if you upgrade installed anything can happen.. a common feature is the internal wireless card fails to work.
    Give details and we can figure it out.
    Here is discussion about the same thing as I think has happened to your imac in macbook.

    Hi guys,
    Today my iPhone 4 just turned off and I seem not to be able to turn it on again.

    My iPhone does not react on anything.

  • My iphone shut off and I can't get it back on!

    My iphone shut off and won't turn back on, even if connected to the charger. I see other responses have said to hold down the power and home buttons together. Where is the home (or sleep) button? I know where the power button is. Thanks

    Flip the Vibrate/Mute switch on and off, does the iPhone Vibrate? If yes, then your iPhone is on and the screen is out. If no vibrate then try the following......
    Leave your iPhone connected to the Wall Charger so the Battery can charge, which may be the problem. Then after at least 30 minutes, try to turn on your iPhone. You can push the Top (Power, On/Off, Sleep) button like normal. Or you could just unplug and then replug the charger or USB cable. Connecting iPhone is a way to turn it on. If this does not work you can hold at same time Both the Home button (the button at bottom of front screen) and the Power button (the top, on/off, sleep), hold both for about 15 seconds until the iPhone turns on. Holding both these buttons at same time is called a Reset.
    If this does not revive your iPhone you will have to Restore the Firmware in iTunes. Open iTunes, press the Home Button and then connect your iPhone to the computer with the USB cable, keep holding the Home Button until the iTunes screen appears on your iPhone. When iTunes prompts you Restore the Firmware.

        You need power for that awesome device iphonescreen! Are you still having difficulties? Have you tried a soft reset by holding down the power and home keys? How about connecting it to the charger or your computer? Let's get to the bottom of this!

  • My Ipad has gone blank and I can't get anything to come back up on the screen?

    My IPad has gone blank.  I was checking my mail and it started flashing and then it froze then it went blank.  All I have is a screen saver picture.  I can use Suri but nothing else.  HELP????  I have turned it off and turned it back on still nothing.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Connect the iPad to a power source to charge the battery just in case.

  • My power mac g4 was working fine i hit a key and it shut down and now it has the symble of the firewire slot floting around the screen and i can not get it to start back up

    my power mac g4 was working fine i hit a key and it shut down and know it has a symble floting around the screen like the firewirs symble and ot wont turn back on how do i fix it

    It does sound like the T key is stuck.
    One way to test to see if the keyboard is at fault is to disconnect the keyboard, then start up the Mac.
    Note - on that model, you can force a shutdown by holding in the power button (the one on the front panel of the machine) for 8 to 10 seconds.
    You can also force a restart by pressing the small convex (bulges out slightly) button under the power button on the front panel (it's the one on the left).

  • Screen keeps going black and I can't get it to light back up

    I just purchased a "pinkberry" and am getting very frustrated with it. It keeps going black and no matter what buttons I push I cannot get it to light back up. I got it yesterday and charged it for about 12 hours so I know it's not that the battery is low.

    seems like a hardware problem. Return the device to where you bought it and claim a new one.
