Ok Welcome to the world of mac.

Ok here is the list of several issues with the ibook g4

1. Logic board failure this is common with the g3 and g4 ibooks but because your machine seems to have issues booting i would say it isn't this.


2. Hard Drive failure this happens to be what may be going on with your machine you may need to replace the hard drive.


the only other choice i can see that may work take the g4 ibook into a apple repair shop and have them look it over or you can try to replace the hard drive yourself using the tutorials at ifixit but most likely it is your hard drive.
