There is a slim possibility that the two are unrelated… but it would surprise me…

Why is my Apple Powerbook G4 screen not working?
Why won’t my Mac turn on?

I have a Mac PowerBook G4. I updated my iTunes, and QuickTime. For QuickTime, it said that it would need to reastart to complete the installation. So I agreed to it and what ever. It turned off but didn’t restart automatically. So I went to turn it on and I heard the start up chime and the system workin but then it stopped. I tried like 10 times and it would always do that. My area is having a heat wave so I thought it just got over heated so I brought it into the ac and waited for it to cool down. It did and it worked. But then I needed to update the Mac software so I did and it said it was going to restart and whatever. The second time it restarted it did the same thing. I still heard the chime but not the apple screen. what do I do? do I need to take it to the apple store?? Or should I just wait till it responds??

Please tell us what you see on the screen.

Is it a black screen that stays black? Is it a lighted screen that stays lighted?

Restart and hold the option key for 30 seconds. Do you see anything at all?

Boot to the OS X Install DVD.
– Go past the language choice,
– Open Disk Utility.
– Select the “Macintosh HD”.
– Select the “First Aid” tab.
– Click the “Repair Disk” button.
– If it finds problems, repair again.

How much is a reasonable selling price that will not sell myself short but not rip off the buyer?

Well, that depends on how much it has been used. For every year of use, you should subtract $500-$1000, depending on the amount of damage, if any. Sounds like you spent a ton on it, I’d sell it on eBay with the starting price:

Original price-(years of use X $500)+current cost of software already installed+How much it cost to buy 6000 songs

How much should I sell my 12” Powerbook G4 that is both fair to me and to the buyer?

Nope. Beyond RAM and HD, Laptops are just not meant to be upgradeable.

Now matter how much you love it, don’t drop another dime into that machine. It’s just not worth the effort if you’re going to try to use it for any modern tasks.

What will I need to update my Powerbook G4?
powerbook g4 update now programs will not show up?

im running tiger 10.4 osx on my g4 Powerbook and I downloaded a update the other day now my msn or my yim or safari will not open anymore as if they vanished and every time I click on one of them the icon just bounces but does not come up any help please do I need to reformat or what do i need to do?

Hello marolt4,

You have been backing-up your hard drive, right? Just boot up your Mac from the external hard drive or using your back-up software and load the back-up stuff back into your PowerBook.

Normally what I do when I upgrade the OS, is I download the “combo update” directly from the Apple web site, not the regular update. I don’t download the OS upgrade using your Mac’s Software Update program so I can back-up the updates separately. Go here:

http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/

Be sure that you’re downloading the update for the proper hardware (PPC) too. I hope that this helps. Best of luck to you.

How can I remove a dent on a Powerbook g4?
How can I remove a dent on a Powerbook g4?

I found a dent dent on my new 17 inch Powerbook G4. It is not very deep but covers a large part of the computer. It is under the apple on the front of the computer. Is there any way to remove this dent?

This ranges from very difficult to nearly impossible. It would involve taking your Laptop to bits which would violate the warranty. You’ll need to somehow get to the dent and push it out (like done on a car with a small dent). I’d forget it, you’re more likely to break it by taking it apart.
