my ibook g4 locked up one day while I was on the internet. I tried to reboot, nothing. I tried to reinstall Leopard, the computer locked up during the install. I replaced the hard drive and memory and still it locked during install of Leopard. What else could be causing the system to lock. Mother board? Processor?
Leopard is not really suited for the iBook G4. I would recommend you go back to Tiger and see if that gets rid of your lockup. Leopard is more suitable for the Macbook.

- Your logic board is fu.k.d up. Get you a cheap parts/repair laptop off of e-bay or just by the motherboard by itself. Have fun installing, because the iBook models are real bit.h to open. They have a lot of diabolical screws of varying lengths and shapes to really stress you out.

Greetings. I tried to drain the battery of my Acer Aspire D250 notebook this morning but had to lave the house leaving it with about 4 or 5 minutes of power in the battery. When I came back I noticed that although I had shut down the computer properly, disconnected it and closed it up the battering light continued to flash orange. Thinking that it was perhaps alerting me that the battery needed charging, I wanted to see if it would power up, so I tried once and it worked (battery light turned steady orange) and shut it down (battery light continued to flash orange), then tried to power it up again and nothing happened, it wouldn't work. I have it connected now and obviously it is working with the AC power (battery light is steady orange at the moment but I am assuming this is because the battery is nearly empty still. Is this flashing of the battery light when the Acer is off normal, or is something going wrong with my computer?? It's not only a fantastic little machine but I just bought it to travel to America with it next weekend because I have work to write up and no longer have any time to have it serviced, so I'm quite scared that something might happen to it just before I go! Thanks for any info anyone can give me! Best, Bea

While is was searching on the internet my iBook G4 locked up. I tried to reboot and it locked up again. I tried to reinstall OSX but during the install it locked up. I replaced the memory and hard drive and got the same results. The system continues to lock up during install. What could be wrong? Logic board? Something else? Any help?
