Thanks. I've pulled the RAM and the harddrive to have checked out. I tried reloading OS - got the disks from the shop who sold it as a rebuild to my nephew some time ago. He's saying it's the harddrive if it doesn't boot from the disks. Found a good site to help with the dismantling to get at the hard drive. http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/iBook-G3-12-Inch/Hard-Drive/50/12/ Thanks again. I'll post the result when I get finished.
