But about 10 days ago I had a crash where the cursor and the clock froze. None of the key combos worked, I had to hold down the power key to shut it off, and upon reboot, there was no video. I have been using it in target disk mode plugged into a 400MHz iMac since then. You know, hold down the option key, and boot the iMac from the iBook. It's kind of surreal, it's my computer, I can do everything I used to do, but I am tethered to this iMac and my iBook just sits there, out of the way, forlorn on it's CoolPad, lid open, dead screen. I really miss being portable. I have debated getting it fixed, but it's almost four and a half years old. Been thinking about a 12 inch PowerBook G4.</DIV><DIV style=""><BR style=""></DIV><DIV style="">I reset the power manager. I even took out the ram, the airport card, and the battery, then pressed the reset button for 5 seconds. Put just the battery back for reboot. Nothing. Zapped the p-ram. Nothing. I guess the video card is fried. Anyone familiar with this issue? Any other good ideas? It's sad. These things should last longer than this. </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
