Question

G4 PowerBook won't boot after the bong

Jul 5, 2012 4:10AM PDT

Using Tiger 10.4.11 on a G4 PowerBook. The PB will boot and even bong (announcing its self), but after that the little circle just spins. I have tried to boot using the CD for Tiger for PBs, no luck, same thing happens. Thinking this is a hardware problem, but no real knowledge. NO idea where to find the model number.

Does anyone have a guess as to what is wrong?
