Hi Bill,
I would be easier if we knew exactly what Mac you have. I know it has a G4 processor, DVI output (which makes it some sort of laptop and a 15.2" screen. I'm betting on a PowerBook G4, the first with DVI output.
Try this:
Press the Power button (
Am I looking at big bucks here? Just installed an airport card in my G4 DVI 15.2". When I came to start up, there was that familiar whirr and then silence. Nothing. I decided to remove the card and nothing - apart from the screen lighting up in grey swirls and gradually settling down to a solid grey, with a band about 3cms wide of thin vertical coloured lines on the left hand side of the screen. That's it, nothing else. I cannot switch off using the power awitch and have to remove the battery. Just to check I put the airport card back in. This time nothing happens at all, but when I removed it again, I got the swirling grey and coloured lines again. Is there a simple remedy for this? (I know I am probably asking for the moon here!)
Any suggestions/tips would be welcome.
Thanks
Bill
