Wallstreet will not boot every time - Huh!? [scratches head]

So I just placed the hard drive in my Wallstreet Powerbook. Running G3 233 mHz, 320 megs Ram, OS 10.2.9. I reloaded all the software on the computer, everything worked great. So I installed the software for my PCMCIA Wireless card and USB card. It lock up a few times, but that's probably because I don't really have enough RAM. But ended up rebooting after that crash.
The next day I went to turn it on. It powered up but a blank screen popped up with a disk and a question mark on it.... So I put a OS 9.2 install disk in it to boot it off that. It took a few trys to get the computer to recognize the disk, but finally found it. I opened the start up disk and I can see my new hard drive. I choose that, and rebooted. No problems. I surfed the web and checked email. Everything worked fine, even the USB card.
So today I boot it up again and now It will not recognize the CD drive... I can not boot off either CD or hard drive. Have anyone ever had problems like this with their G3 Powerbook?

Gauge,
Glad the replacement battery is working well.
The PRAM battery, actually called a rechargeable backup battery in powerbooks, has no reset. It is just a simple rechargeable battery without any electronics controlling it. Your Wallstreet is 9 years old and this battery may be losing its battle with Time.
Here is how the battery works and also how you can test it:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=30580
It is a major disassembly to replace this battery, so if having a charged main battery installed and/or always having the power adapter connected maintains your time/date, I would not be concerned about replacing the PRAM battery if it is dead.

  • Wallstreet will not boot up

    Hi all,
    I have a 233mhz Wallstreet that I was given a while back because it didn't work, so I figured I'd mess with it. Here's the situation...
    1. As soon as you plug it in, the green light comes on, the fan comes on full force, and it stays that way forever.
    2. I know the hard drive is good, I pulled it from another working Wallstreet.
    3. When I do a reset (fncontrol+shiftpower), it turns off and stays off, pushing the power button does nothing.
    I also know the RAM is okay, again, out of a working Wallstreet. So, do you think it's the logic board? Power card? I've had it all apart, I don't see any burnt marks or anything to signify a major catastrophe. Any help would be great.
    Thanks,

    The service manual has this to say:
    Symptom: Screen is blank; backlight isn’t on; computer doesn’t respond:
    If sleep LED is continually on, backup battery power has been interrupted. Restart computer by holding down Shift-FN-Control and power on key. Wait 5 seconds and press power on key. If computer doesn’t restart, repeat 3–4 times.
    In another section, it says it can take 48 hours on the charger to get a dead backup battery back in operating range.

    I tried updating my iPod, and ever since it has not worked at all. If I hold in the lock & home button, it will tell me to plug it into iTunes. Once I do that, it says it will restore but every time, restoring it fails. My iPod is not working at all, and I really have no idea what to do. It is just a black screen, and occasionally the white apple will appear as if it were turning on, but it won't turn on. I just need some suggestions on what to do!

    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 iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • G4 Will not Boot Up after Quick Time 7.1.6 Upgrade

    I upgraded the most recent Quicktime update last night and opted for System Shutdown afterward. This morning the machine will not boot up. It goes to the Apple and the swirling circle for up to a half hour - still no luck.
    Any ideas?
    iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Are you sure it was just the QT update? Security Update version 1.0 came out about the same time. It has since been pulled and replaced with version 1.1 following some users experiencing issues (although 1.0 worked fine for me). 
    Try booting into "Safe Mode" (hold down Shift during start-up) and see if it will allow you to run Software Update again.
    Failing that Barry's suggestion of an A & I will undoubtedly do the trick.

  • Mac book pro 13" 2010 beeps every 5 seconds at start up, will not boot up.

    my mac book pro 13" 2010 beeps every 5 seconds at start up, will not boot up. Any ideas what is wrong?  Removed and re installed memory, that did not work.         
    Thank You   ecbrum

    If you're handy with tools, pop the bottom pan on the Mac, take out the RAM sticks, thoroughly clean the contacts on both the sticks and the Mac (blow clean with a compressed air duster on the Mac, use isopropyl alcohol on the contacts on the RAM sticks), reseat and reinstall the sticks and retry. If same, try swapping the RAM sticks. If you need pictorial assistance, see here: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2010+RAM/ 4319/1

    Hi
    This may be a disply issue try to connect a external monitor to your notebook and see if you get the display there.
    You can connect to an external monitor via a VGA or HDMI connection.  The usual process to transfer the video output to an external source is to hold down the fn key and press f4.  Use the arrow keys to select 'Projector Only' and hit enter.

  • Satellite L100 will not boot up if wi-fi is enabled

    Hi
    Starting from the beginning, yesterday for first time my husband connected his Satellite Pro L100 PSLA4E to an LCD TV using a s-video cable. Everything seemed to work fine but thebackground on thedesktop had vanished, there was just a plain white background with all the usual desktop icon. He restarted the lappy thinking this would sort it out but did not disconnect from the TV first. The lappy did not start back up - just had a plain black screen, no warnings or anything.
    A couple techie minded friends arrived at that point and suggested the lappy had 'lost' its display drivers and, after a lot of research decided the only option was to reinstall everything from scratch.
    I do not have the original Toshiba restore disks or recovery disks so downloaded all the drivers from this site. Now the laptop will not boot-up if the wifi is turned on. This model has a Atheros network card - at least the lable on the bottom says contains Atheros AR5BMB5.
    If I turn the wifi switch to off the lappy starts up every time, if however the switch is on it will not start up even in safe mode. If I turn the wifi on after windows XP has started up the lappy freezes and keyboard etc are non responsive and i have to force a shut-down by holding down the power button.
    So far I have spent hours trawling this and other websites to try find any clues that might help.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as Christmas is likely to be hell if hubby does not have his lappy to play with!!!
    Many thanks in anticipation.

    Hello Tree
    After almost 10 years with Toshiba notebooks I must say that I have never heard about something like this. For me it sounds unbelievable.
    The best solution for you is to install OS using original Toshiba recovery image. If you don't have one you can order it.
    What you can try is to enter BIOS settings at startup. Set it to default settings and check if the problem persists.

  • Intel iMac will not boot past gray screen

    Intel iMac will not boot past gray screen
    my system:
    new (month old) 24" intel imac, 2.8 ghz, 4 gb ram.
    running: leopard (upgraded from tiger, which was pre-installed at purchase), installed 10.5.1 update right before this huge problem occurred.
    install discs on-hand: two-disc tiget set, single leopard upgrade disc.
    what led to this:
    i wanted to install windows using bootcamp on a 50 gb partition.
    at this point i was running leopard 10.5
    i followed all bootcamp instructions, printing out the guide, as well. once i got into the windows setup, i was prompted to choose a partition to install windows. unlike the bootcamp guide, which showed three partitions, one clearly labeled "bootcamp", i saw only one partition. not wanting to risk writing over my mac partition, i quit the setup and rebooted the mac os. after some googling around, i looked for firmware updates (didn't need any), and then software updates. i decided to try updating to 10.5.1.
    i then ran through boot camp again, deleting my previous windows partition, creating a new one, and moving forward as before. once again, i was only shown one partition to choose from in the windows setup. i exited the setup again to reboot through the mac os, but this time, i was only given a blank gray screen.
    here's what i have tried so far:
    booting from a CD, holding down the C or D keys: no response (in fact, i have to restart the computer holding down the mouse button to be able to eject the CD)
    booting with option key held down: gray screen
    booting with option key held down with external bootable firewire drive attached: the firewire drive appears as a boot icon, and i can click on it within a five second window, but then the screen freezes after that time period, and nothing changes
    booting into target mode while attached to another mac: gray screen (no firewire icon, and drive never shows up on other mac)
    resetting NVRAM: i'm able to hear the boot chimes, but no difference in performance. gray screen every time
    Safe boot: nothing but a gray screen
    Verbose mode: gray screen
    Single user mode: gray screen
    Single user mode with firewire drive attached: occasionally (not every time), i am able to get the white on black terminal to show up. from here, i'm able to run fsck, but it appears to only be checking the firewire drive. i have tried several times to boot from here, and once it took me to a blue screen with movable arrow cursor, but it never went beyond this.
    is there anything else left to try before taking it to apple?
    any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,

    I'd call Apple support at this point. You'll need
    to put this issue on the record.
    Call U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273)
    The wait may be long for an agent to come on the line
    so expect that and have some other stuff to do in the meantime.
    If you have the applecare protection plan, I'd ask about "onsite"
    service.
    I like your work ! Good luck !

  • Brand new iMac will not boot, just make's funny "bonk" sound.

    I have a brand new iMac (Intel, 20-inch flat panel). Just out of the box. Ran through set-up wizard. Used firewire to transfer files from an old CRT iMac. All was good for about an hour.
    Tried to empty the trash. Finder says Trash was emptied, but, if I open the Trash, the 50-odd files I just deleted are still visible! If I try to select one, its icon immediately disappears. Hmmm....
    I decide it's time to restart.
    Upon restart, computer will not boot.
    I push the power button. I hear the startup chime as usual. Screen lights up gray. But no apple logo on the screen. There is a long pause. Screen remains gray. Computer then starts making a soft "bonk" sound every 4-5 seconds. (Kind of hard to describe the sound, just imagine clipping the very first fraction of a second of the normal Mac startup chime, and repeating it every couple seconds.) This continues indefinitely.
    If someone has experienced this, or has advice, please let me know your thoughts. Feeling rather bummed. Thanks in advance!!!

    Boot from the Install Disk 1
    I cannot boot at all (see my post above). The
    machine just sits there with a blank gray screen.
    I appreciate the article link, though. I've already
    read it and it will make a great reference for the
    future, provided I can get back to a place where this
    iMac actually runs.
    Since you're new to Macs, I'm sure you don't realize that while your iMac is sitting there with only a gray screen, you can insert/push in "Install Disc 1" - and it will be accepted. Then press and hold down the power button until iMac shuts down. After waiting a few seconds until everything has settled, press power button and immediately upon hearing the usual Mac startup tone/chime/chord hold down the "c" key until you see the spinning progress indicator below the Apple logo. It will boot to the DVD, you will be able to use (from the Utilties pull-down menu) Disk Utility to "repair" the hard drive directory, then you will be able to quit the installation process, choose Startup Disk from that same Utilities pull-down, and restart your iMac:)

  • IMac will not boot from any mode except Target Disk

    I have an Early 2008 Penryn iMac 24" MB398LL/A running OS X 10.7.4 (see specs below) that will not boot from ANY mode, It also has several strange vertical bars from top to bottom on the screen. They are about 10 px wide, with some pixels empty and looks a bit like a barcode if you squint at it.
    I have tried Safe Boot, Force Boot, DVD Boot, FireWire/USB Boot,  and it always gets to the same point. It gets to the apple screen with the spinning gear and then after about 8 seconds it freezes. The only way it works at all is in Target Disk Mode. It pops right up on my Macbook Pro and I was able to grab all my info!
    I have run Disc Utilities and Tech Tool on it many times from my MBP and it passes every test.
    I reformatted the HD and installed 10.7 again, it still freezes up at the same point. 
    I have tried using Single User mode and every time have had to run /sbin/fsck -fy twice because it always says the disk is ok but it was modified on the first pass.
    I thought maybe it had a bad video card or logic board but and I ran the Apple Hardware Test on many occasions and it always passes. Recently I was told about Loop Mode and just completed running the AHT for just over 30 hours without any errors at all.
    UPDATE...
    Strange Part… I tried installing Mountain Lion in Target Disk Mode and everything went smoothly. When it restarted on its own the lines on the screen were gone for the moment, but the Mac still freezes up on the spinning gear and immediately restarts on its own.  I have run every thing listed above on it and still nothing. Sometimes the lines reappear then in two more starts they are gone.
    I did manage to have it start one time got a copy of the  the error report (its at the bottom too) The Mac ran for at least 30 minutes with no problems, then the screen went crazy a few seconds and it became unresponsive. The mouse moved but that was all it could do. Now my iMac continually restarts itself, I don't have any more ideas, HELP!

  • 15" iMac G4 800Mhz will not boot up

    Hello all,
    I have a 15" iMac 800Mhz G4 system with 512ram that will not boot up unless I take out the memory and reinsert it every time before a start up. I get a blank grey screen unless I pull the memory stick out and put it back in. Any ideas ? I tried a different stick of memory but had the same problem ? confused.
    When the system is running it runs like a champ! I cant afford a new mac at this time or a heavy repair fee
    Thanks
    Dan
    iMac 15" 800Mhz Mac OS X (10.4.8)
    iMac 20" 2ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Its a second hand Mac I bought used and it came with no disc, I am running 10.4.8 if that helps. I do have OS X disc from a PowerBook and iBook
    The Memory is a Apple 256 stick dont know how old it is since I bought the iMac used
    How do I run a hardware test ?
    Thanks

  • After updating Airport software, Macbook will not boot

    I see others have updated with the new Airport software without incident, but not me.
    I just ran software update to install the Airport update (hoping it would cure the problem I've had -- and other users as well -- with the connection dropping every 5 minutes with Linksys routers [check the Airport discussion board for much discussion of this]).
    After installing, upon restart my Macbook will not boot fully. I get the Apple symbol, then the spinning gear symbol, then a light blue screen and that's it. After a while the fan comes on.
    Call it the light blue screen of death.
    All was working fine until the update.
    I have boot camp and I can boot into Windows.
    I have tried removing the battery and resetting the PRAM. No help.
    Sigh... Applecare is closed so I cannot call until Friday morning. Anyone have any suggestions of what I can try?
    I have my Mac hard disk backed up from a few days ago using Super Duper on a USB drive but I am reluctant to try booting from it as I fear corrupting the drive. Unfortunately I don't have my Mac system CDs with me as I am away from home at the moment.
    I just switched to the Mac 6 weeks ago after 3.5 years with a Dell laptop. Never had a single problem like this in all that time. But I still like my Mac.
    PD

    Well, I spoke too soon. Last night I was able to start up as described above, but this morning when I tried to start it did not even get to the Mac symbol. It just hung at a dark blue screen for several minutes.
    Tried restarting with the shift key held down but it would not go into safe mode. Just the dark blue screen.
    Resetting PRAM made it startup.
    But I'm pretty nervous about this.
    So, is there a way in Mac OS X to roll back to the system before the update? In Windows XP this is very simple under System Restore. I have the impression OS X doesn't have this feature and won't until next year with Time Machine.
    And I see now I'm not the only user with this problem.
    PD

  • Macbook Pro will not boot up / circle with line in it

    Mid 2012 MacBook Pro bought brand new
    OS X Yosemite
    Core i7
    16Gb memory (upgraded shortly purchase)
    500Gb SATA
    About a month ago my laptop started running really slow then locked up, I had to hard power down and every since it will not boot up, all I get is a circle with a line through it.
    It will not boot to restore DVD
    It will not open safe mode
    it will not boot to USB
    I have removed the memory (2 x 8gb) and tested one at a time did not help
    Removed the HDD and tried to boot to DVD did not help
    like I was saying above this all happened at once one min it was good then it locked and I have never got the OS to boot up again

    I was going to say try single user Command/ S. but you tried that. You say you tried a dvd. What OS was on it. The 2012 Macbook Pro does not come with a bootable dvd, unless you make one . And it has to be an OS that is the same on newer than  the year of the Macbook.  Will it start to the recovery partition by Holding the option key or Option/ R at start. Also your machine is suppose to be able to boot to internet recovery using Command/Option/ R. Did you try that. Need to find out if it's the hard drive or something else. Having some kind of USB external boot drive would help. There is also internet hardware diagnostics by holding down Option/D at start up.

  • Powerbook G4 will not boot normally, only in safe mode.

    So...about a month ago I updated my powerbook with all the updates that were available, one of the updates was 10.5.8. I came back after the update had run for a while, and found my computer with a black screen, and a faint white bar towards the bottom of the screen. The computer wouldn't respond, and I was forced to do a manual shutdown. The computer would then not boot, instead finally resting on a light blue screen with an active mouse pointer after passing the gray apple screen.
    In safe mode, I downloaded and installed the combo 10.5.8 update, but it made no difference.
    I assumed it to obviously be a software issue, and so I backed up my info, and reinstalled Leopard. I then updated to 10.5.8 using the combo update. My computer functioned normally for about a week, and then froze, mouse responsive, but nothing else. After manual shutdown, same problem, computer started to blue screen with pointer.
    Since that time I've reset the PRAM, run disk utility a million times (no errors), repaired permissions, all to no avail. I've run the Techtool diagnostics on it, and it found no hardware failures. The computer will not boot from an external hard drive, ruling out the HD.
    I've replaced the RAM with different RAM, again will not boot. The computer boots without fail every time in safe mode.
    History on my computer, one of my memory slots failed to recognize memory any longer, and my logic board was replaced a little less than 2 years ago while I still had applecare.
    So to sum up:
    Powerbook boots only in safe mode
    Stays at blue screen with mouse pointer when booting
    May work properly for a few days after erase and install of OS, but then fails again with same systems shortly thereafter
    Any ideas???

    Have you tried running the Apple Hardware Test from DVD?
