PowerBook G4 - Won't Start Up - 3 Strange Beeps then just LED flashes and sudden death - black screen.

PowerBook G4 - Won't Start Up - 3 Strange Beeps then just LED flashes and sudden death - black screen.
Prior that the powerbook also couldn't start but I could see the Apple logo, so via fire-wire (holding T at start up) I backed up the hard disk.
Check via DiskToolPro the structure, defragmented. Via DiskWarrior rebuild the directory
and finally not been able to access the drive I reformatted the drive via fire-wire drive.
Re-started the powerbook holding C to boot up from DVD - nothing
Re-started again and it give me one long beep and black screen. An indication that my 1gig RAM is bad or gone (?) and the DVD is stuck inside.
Bought new one 1 gig, installed it and now I'm getting only three beeps.
I tried all, changed the slots several times and nothing.
I tried more as:
                         c -- to boot from CD (again while the DVD is still inside and I cannot get it out)
                         cmd-opt-p-r -- to Zap the PRAM,
                         cmd-opt-n-v -- to clear NV RAM,
                         cmd-opt-o-f -- to boot into open firmware … and nothing. The DVD is in and I have
                                                black screen with three beeps and flashing LED.
Do I have to replace the Logic Board?   (Anyone has a spare one ?)
But it is the faulty Logic board?
Could anyone help me out? Please.
I'm retired and I cannot afford a new laptop - and this powerbook was a great, great horse for me until that horrible set of three beeps.
Thank you in advance for any advice and help.

But it is the faulty Logic board?
There was a known issue with LBs in 15-inch PowerBooks with 1.5 and 1.67Ghz processors in which one RAM slot would fail. There once was a repair extension program that fixed the problem at no cost, but it is long-expired.
The problem with seeking a used logic board for these models is that so many had their boards replaced that it increases the chances of the boards in the used/pulled markets having the same problem you have now. The replacement program also came close to exhausting the supply of new boards,
If it turns out to be a bad LB and you can't find a replacement, consider how used computer pricing works: A used computer is worth hugely more in parts than if bought as a working unit. I.E, you can probably find a working PowerBook that will cost less than the logic bard alone. It also possible to find a used MacBook Pro for less that a replacement LB.
If you tell us your approximate geographic location, we can see what's available nearby. I'm also retired, and and visiting my wife's family this week so have even more time than usual to help you search.

My BB won't turn on the red light flashes and the key's light up

Hi
I have read all posts relating to my problem, but one thing my BB won't do is resgister on my computer. The phone will not turn on, has the red light flashing and the keys light up, but the screen will not come on. I have tried taking the battery out, charging it all night, all the recommended/ideas from this sight, but no joy. I have only had this phone since July last year. I haven't been able to try updating phone etc as it won't register on my or my husbands computer please help
Louise

Hi,
The way you presented it made me think it had just happened.
So you have had the phone since July has it ever worked?
Most likely you are missing some or all of your device OS and you'll need to reload the device.
Because the phone can't generate enough signal you will have to "force detect it". I've attached the link below. If you want to proceed I'll need what version of Device OS and what version of desktop manager software.
Thanks,

You can try removing and reseating the memory and see if that works.
If that doesn't work, remove all but one memory module (if the PC has more than one), and see if the PC runs normally with one memory chip. If it beeps, remove and replace with the memory you removed and keep doing that until you find the bad memory chip.

My macbook Pro Retina is 5 months old. I have nothing but a cursor and a black screen. What gives???

I have nothing but a cursor and a black screen. It's only 5 months old! What gives here? This is my first Mac and I'll tell you, they aren't impressing me.

Did you get it fixed at the store? I have this same problem my macbook pro that I bought at the end of December. I am not impressed and very unhappy that I now need to drive to some store to fix it. I tried to get it fixed through the phone but alas it still does not work.
After spending as much money as I did for this thing that I've only had for less than three months and used maybe less than 10 times, I'm slightly upset. I need to have this working by Saturday.

When I use the type tool or the selection tools, my photos blink between the photo and a black screen. Anyone else have this issue?

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

I have just bought a brand new iMac plugged it in and nothing, black screen any suggestion, not a great start to my first mac experience

I just bought a new iMac, plugged it in and nothing, black screen any suggestions and the apple support function is no help, real glad I bought the apple care plan and you can only use that if your machine turns on!

If you bought the computer at an Apple Store return it. Let them know you aren't happy about your start in the Mac world. If you bought the computer online and have an Apple Store nearby you can take it there even though you didn't buy it there. Note: if going to an Apple store go online and make an appt with the Genius. Stores tend to be busy so this will give you a time to know you can walk in and pretty quickly get attention. Just walking in with a dead computer you may have to wait a while.
No Apple store nearby? No problem, call AppleCare and they'll take care of you. Ask for expedited return & shipment and again, let the technician know you are new to the Apple world and not happy. The last time I brought home a dead computer I not only got a replacement right away but I got an Apple gift card for my inconvenience.

MSI GE70 botting and then black screen :(

Hello!
I recently got my laptop back from service repair, because it had Hard drive problems, and HDD was changed with new one.
But today, when I was playing a game, the PC froze, so i turned it off and now, I get to windows bootup sequence, and then black screen :(.
Is there anything that could be done, or I would need to send it back to service repair and wait anohter month to get it back?
Kind regards.

Same problem here. The update killed my video. Tried rebooting three times. The audio is fine. I hear the reboot audio. I hear clicks when I press buttons on the remote. But, there's a blank screen.

Torch 9810 slow red flashing light then black screen

Hi,
My phone is over 1 year old, so its not covered by Wind provider warranty. its 15 months now. One day, I plugged into the computer, it was doing an OS update, then froze at 30%. ever since, it is flashing red a few times then nothing... complete black screen. I tried it on different computers and even went to retail store and they tried it, nothing. They said its a blackberry OS issue and need to restore to factory OS and let it do update again. how do i do this? I know its not battery issue because we tried other good batteries. help!!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please refer to this official download portal as you proceed. It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. After installing the OS package to your PC, please remeber to delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
You may also want to try the "Bare Bones OS Reload Procedure" to attempt to narrow down the precise causal item:
Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.

http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

Phone stuck on loading screen, red LED flashing, will not turn on.

So I just bought this phone two days ago and have not dropped it or anything, it keeps flashing on the loading screen then just turns off and the red LED light goes off like I am receiving a message. It will not start up, i've tried charging it some more, i tried removing the battery and yeah.. i'm just not sure what else to do.
I've had a horrible time with this phone(The guy I purchased it from told me it was activated, then when I called virgin a day later they told me he forgot to...), and im really not sure what to do, please help :/
Thank you, any info is appreciated.

We can certain try troubleshooting. I know that some people may just prefer to send it back if it's not working when they first get it. The steps to reload the OS are as follows:
First download and install the Desktop Manager from here (4.7 without Media Manager is recommended): https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
Next download and install the handheld software from here: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
Afterwards try reloading the OS by connecting the device to your computer, open the Desktop Manager, then go into the Application Loader. This will open a wizard that steps you through reloading the OS onto your device. More detailed steps can be found in here:
http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-how-install-or-upgrade-new-rim-operating-system-os
If the device isn't recognized when you plug it into the computer then try using the following 2 methods to reload the OS:

S750: control pod flashing red led READ AND HELP!

Hi, basically my S750 set of speakers isnt working correctly. When im listening to music and start to pump the voloume up it just stops and the control pod goes back to standy mode with the red led light. Sometime it keeps flashing and I can hear a clicking noise coming from the sub, when the control pod was flashing and the sub was making a clicking noise i looked at the back and saw the green light flickering. Can anybody help me please

I did thing is its really a lot of hassle. Im based in England, and I need to call a number in dublin (International call) and then pay 6.75 to a 'tutoring session' which will last 30 minutes. That's why I was trying to resolve my problem on here, they don't even know what it could be either. I have dropped my control pod a few times on the floor, so i don't know if it could be faulty now, like a wire may have come loose inside,but then that doesn't explain when i try and play fall power it all cuts out,what do you think?

All flash videos have black screen and cause Firefox crashes

Whenever I'm playing a video with Flash, the screen is black although the sound is playing. Then Firefox is crashing.
I'm using the newest Firefox Version (28.0) on Mac OS 10.9.2 (newer Macbook Air) and the newest Flash version. I tried Safe mode and deactivated my plug-ins to make sure it's Flash.
I re-installed Flash and installed but it didn't help.
My Firefox crash reports say "hang | libsystem_kernel.dylib@0x15a3a" under signature and "EXC_BREAKPOINT / 0x00000002" under crash reason.

I solved this problem by disabling hardware acceleration in the settings of adobe flash (right click/context menu). Although this might be difficult if the video is crashing before you were able to access the settings menu.

After installing an Adobe Flash update, Firefox opens and stays black screen

Firefox was working perfectly yesterday. When I booted up this morning, Adobe Flash Player asked to run an update. I did this. Firefox now opens and stays black. I have tried a reset from safe mode and a full reinstall. Neither worked

Hi There!
I would suggest you remove windows from your PC and install Ubuntu. This will resolve most of the issues you are facing or it might be great to find a very large hammer, lift it high above your head and SLAM it down on your PC will surly make you feel better and if you video record it and upload to Youtube others will love it too!
