It broke my 600mHz iBook
Authored by: DigiH on Jul 31, '03 11:40:38AM

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)
