I just recieved an g4 ibook.
after instaling Panther i put VLC on it and checked if it worked. I left the cd with the movie in the drive and send the ibook to sleep. when i re- opened it the screen stayed black. After a while i just turned the thing off by holding the power button down for a while (there is no reset button anymore).
when i tried to turn it on again it didnīt do anything but beep three times.
so what is the problem?
i have been using macs for years and never expierenced anything like this.
Thanks

I think the 3 beeps are meant to be some kind of warning, bad logic board or RAM :(

I know its brand new but I've just seen someone in the Apple disscussions describe the same thing with his new iBook G4:

Beeps are usually not good, its either RAM or your logic board:(
