Hi Brian!

I've treied your trick...with luck!!
It works!

I can see all what was (is) still, on the hard drive of this baby!!
So...it seems it's not totally dead, after all!
I even see the orange sign, you know, the firewire connectivity sign, 
which is hovering, on the screen of that iBook...so even the screen 
isn't fry, after all!

I wonder if I could just find a used replacement keyboard, and switch 
it...to see if it would then go further in startup mode?

This used to be my beloved iBook...I gave it to my son, when I bought my 
12 inch Powerbook
dream machine,a year and a half ago...

Of course, the kid spills orange juice on it...a kid is akid, will be a kid!

Just for the record, a couple months later, or before, can't remember, 
it was christmass...bought an i'pod to him...He left it on top of his 
car, ( my old Honda Civic that I almost gave him, again, yes...hihi), 
and the i'pod was gone for good!

Not really an Apple dude as his fathers, seems like...

So...what should I do next?
