I am distraught. I precious, precious iBook G4... is DEAD!
Last night, I was using it, on my bed, and then suddenly, everything just froze... no kernal panic screen, everythign jsut stopped, and my hard drive was making really scary clicking noises....
I lifted the computer up, and the bottom, especially under the HDD, was too hot to touch....
So I held th epowerbutton to turn it off, and I left it sittin gon ymy desk for about 16 hours... now when I try to turn it on, (cooled down of course), it turns on, makes the horrible clicking noises, and sits on the grey apple logo indefinately.
I tried the hardware test CD, but it just sat on the loading logo, and made the clicking noises, and I tried booting it up as FireWire Target and connecting it to my iMac; made clicking noises, went into Target mode, but won't mount on the iMac.
I then tried booting the iMac as Target, and holdign option on the iBook... it just clicked and gave me the watch indefinately and didn't show anything up....
I'm really worried now....
Can anyone PLEASE help me/!
