MAJOR issues with iBook. Prohibitory, Kernel, etc etc
Posted: Fri Oct 20, 2006 11:12 pm
I just got my ibook back from the APPLE store yesterday and it has a brand new hard drive and logic board installed. Its a 1.2 gig iBook G4.
All day it kept freezing and beachballing on me. At some instances I couldn't even FORCE QUIT.
When doing normal tasks (resizing windows, trashing docs, etc) it will beachball and or just sort of freeze. Sometimes it unfreezes, sometimes it wont and I've had to FORCE RESTART MANY times.
I had to FORCE SHUTDOWN and now when I reboot it wont boot up...i get the QUESTION MARK in the FOLDER indicating that it cant find startup disk. I restarted a few times and now I'll get the PROHIBITORY sign.
I put in my PANTHER disc 1 and tried to boot holding "C" to boot from CD and it'll get to the screen with the grey apple and thats it.
I reset the PRAM and also reset the PMU ... both to no avail.
Can SOMEONE help me PLEASE! This is frustrating me to NO END!
I have a MacBook that I bought that I can use but i NEED this ibook to work with.
THANKS!
p.s. Yes I've tried to "REPAIR DISK" in Disk Utility.
