So my Power Book G4 won't turn on for some reason its been crashing recently and it takes a bit to turn it back on so like an hour ago I closed it and put it in my back pack and brought it from class to work. When I arrived at work my laptop was off (it was on when I left) and now it won't turn on at all? WWMD?
Start caring about spelling, and it will fix itself.
Call Steve Jobs.
Lies.
Macs never break.
Caveman think you need spend more time with nose in pink taco, less time in Power Book.
One time olag said to me "grrrhhhaaa". She was right.
You shoulda bought my Dell. :fmicon:

it is either the battery, or its fucked...... Time to buy a new macbook pro :)
first things first: Tech Talk motha' fucka'
plug into the wall and try powering up. hopefully that works.
assuming it does, reset the P-RAM (search on the apple support site for how to do this with your specific powerbook). also launch disk first aid and repair the permissions. (this is just general system re-blessing stuff but good to do now and again)
try un plugging and seeing if the machine will stay powerd on the battery. if it shuts down immediatly you have a battery issue, or it's time for a new one. try using someone elses battery in your machine and see if that works. you might want to search around more on the apple support site for more info on this.
good luck dude!
Time to stop buying shitty, overrated Apple products.
OH NO YOU DIDN'T. :the_fingeQuote:

Maybe you should power it down before you put it in your backpack and lug it across town.
Seriously, maybe your computer died because you never use any of the punctuation keys.Quote:

whats the deal with the warm up in girdwood? on my way out there
See if your processor overheated and shut down due to the fan. Do you hear the fan running? If the fan is full of dust, take a vacumn clearer and try to suck as much dust out of it as possible. Recommomend not using canned air to blow into it. Better to suck than blow. If the fan does not turn on, it may not be so difficult to replace it.
all that sitting on your ass at the auke bay UAS REC center talking shit on your laptop while your supposed to be working has finally fried your G unit.
i recommend two things :
INVEST IN SOME CLEARASIL
