    Ibook G4 fan runs, black screen

    Hi all,

    The Interface into the Apple Ibook startup screen is not bright after about ten seconds and bright. Repeatedly switched back to normal after three four times, and boot to normal. After a period of time off, and then boot, then everything is normal. But the next day if the situation is also common there! Does anyone encountered this situation before? How to deal with? Please suggest. Thanks in advance.

This trick is very useful to me yesterday for the first time with G3, visit the website at the time, I suddenly wanted to win for the keyboard, the result G3 crash pulled no use by the shutdown, so I took the battery and then loaded on boot, the machine open can not pull. Now solved the problem. Taught this trick off, remove the battery, and then Shift + Control + Option + Power Switch, by 5 seconds. Then, the placement of the battery, plugged in, boot. Thank you.

    You need to do following things. If you send startup sound machine, and then no sound, and power indicator light is bright, but a black screen. Help may be the problem of adjusting the screen, the screen may also be finished. If you start the machine did not make a sound, click the switch to off, black darkness. It should check the battery and power. If you use a known good battery or reset the system / power management component still can not get the machine after the start. Check and reply.

    Some computers will not alarm black phenomenon, then the simplest thing is to under Mathematics on the "exclusive method" to analyze specific issues. First check the power strips, if there is a problem related to computer matching parts removed, replaced with some other devices can be used to check the power connection board is working correctly. If power strips, there is no failure, and then the normal procedures for checking the computer power supply and motherboard connection is between normal, that is to check whether the normal power supply board.
