I rescued 2 iBooks (dual-usb) today. The first is a 500Mhz one that boots into OF with
DEFAULT CATCH! code=300 at %SRR0: 0d005468 %SRR1: 40003030
mac-boot will then lead to
DEFAULT CATCH! code=900 at %SRR0: 2b5c214c %SRR1: 40003030
I can't boot from the Apple Hardware Test CD.
Tried the reset-nvram, set-defaults, reset-all commands too but still can't very far. When I try to get it further with mac-boot, I can hear the hard disk working away but every few seconds it will power off and then right back on again.
The second is a 800Mhz model (like my main one). It had a dead display initially (wouldn't even output to an external) but after poking at it with a big stick for a little while I now have a flashing system folder/question mark on-screen. This one doesn't want to boot my Hardware Test CD either but it seems a bit more functional.
Do any of these symptoms sound eerily familiar to any of you guys?
Update
Well, the big stick fix didn't last long. When I ejected the CD I got a band of horizontal lines up the right hand side of the screen (like a barcode) and now it's dead again. Wonder if has the famous logic board graphics problem after all.
