How to resurrect a dead dual-monitor-patched iBook

Did your iBook die when you applied the Dual Monitor patch? If so, here seems to be a fix for all the dead iBooks:

  1. Take out the battery.
  2. Hold Cmd & Power Button. The Reset Sound plays, keep the buttons down until the OS-ROM-Bootmanager appears.
  3. Type mac-boot
Now the iBook should start as usual. If the iBook still shows a black screen after the next restart, repeat the above steps, and then type the following in the Open-Firmware mode:
  reset-defaults 
  set-defaults 
  reset-all 
This tip is not by me. I have just copied the instructions and translated them from MacTechnews.de, a German Mac site. I hope it works!
