How to resurrect a dead dual-monitor-patched iBook

Sounds like a partially scrambled instructions for resetting the Firmware. Try these steps instead:

Shut down the computer. (Hold the power key down until the computer turns off).

Restart the computer holding "option"-"Command (the Apple Key)"-"P" and "R" all down together. The computer will keep chiming until you let go of these keys. Wait for 3 chimes and let go. On late model Macs with up-to-date software this is usually enough to get them going again.

If this does not work, shut down the computer again, restart holding "option"-"command"-"O" and "F" … this forces the computer back into the Open Firmware again.

Type the following:

  reset-defaults 
  set-defaults 
  reset-all
