Can you read cd's in general or none at all?
-
None at all
Here is what comes up every time
-
Did you open the ibook? Since you dont have a firewire you might have to use a tower to install a os on that drive.
-
Insert a cd/dvd and hold down the option key when you start the lappy. Select the cd and try it.
-
Tried it all... believe me
Thinking I may need to give it up
I rwally should be sewing :P

Can you get your hands on one of these sonnet cards with a 2.5 hd hookup n the pci card? Install it in a desk and then put your os n it and then back in the lappy.
-
You can give up at anytime, i wouldnt till i know for sure its not possible.
-
The last 2 ibooks I opened up
Well
They died
Not my forte
I'll let someone else do it
Thank you for your advice
Back to sewing for me

i had the same thing happen to me with my g3 before
it was caused by a disk IO card not being inserted 100% down in the slot
i would guess you have some type of loose connection prbably the disk drive

Also, could be bad RAM or System board issue
-
RAM !!
goodness.
and I thought I had checked everything.
Thank you for jogging MY memory.
The Clamshell lives on.
