Hey guys,
Not sure if you can help, but what just happened to my iBook G3 is kind of concerning to me. I was surfing the web on my iBook while sitting on my couch with it on my lap running on the battery. Someone came to the door (the delivery man bringing me my iMac Core Duo), I set it down on the couch, at the same time a message came up on the screen. After I got up, I decided to press the return key to dismiss the message.
When I did this I felt a static shock, and suddenly my computer shut off. I was fearful that I killed it, but when I rebooted it, it only sat on the apple loading screen for awhile, and when Mac OS X booted, the time was reset back to sometime in 1969. I'm using it right now to type this message, anyone have any ideas? Is it on it way out?
BTW, it ran out of its 3 year applecare last summer. So, I guess its a good thing I have my iMac now. Thanks for any input.
