It broke my 600mHz iBook
Authored by: swankjesse on Jul 29, '03 10:33:09PM
My 600 mHz iBook isn't booting as a consequence of applying this script. Apparently I am not the only one having problems! If you know how to fix my problem (firmware reset not working), let me know!

Sorry to hear about your problem, but AFAIk there's nothing you can do (besides sending the unit to have it repaired). I have the same iBook and know it doesn't work on it. I've enabled it on two of my friend's iBooks (800MHz and 900MHz) and there it works like a charm.

I know it's hard but you really should've ReadThe*censored*inManual! It doesn't list your iBook as a qualified machine for this hack, does it?
I do think they should have warned the user about possible hardware damage...

Hi,

Here seems to be a fix for all the 'dead' 600 Mhz 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"
4. Now the iBook should start as usual

This tip is not by me. I have just copied the instructions and translated them from a German site. I hope it works. If so please visit them at

All the best

Hans

On the same page the text says that:

If the iBook shows again a black screen after another reboot, do the following:

step 1-4 as mentioned above,
type this into open-firmware:

reset-defaults
set-defaults
reset-all

And a restart to be happy. (direct link to the discussion on the mactechnews.de-board)
