One day while using my IBook G4 I noticed the battery was a lil low so I plugged the power cord in. Next thing I know, the screen starts flickering. Then the screen slowly fades out to black and the computer went off. Unfortunately it never came back on =(
That was in like Summer of 05. A few months ago (around April 07) while Spring cleaning, I took the laptap back out and tried to see if I could get it on. To my surprise it came on after numerous attempts of me plugging the cord in, taking it out, touching the power button, and touching the button on the bottom of the laptop. Anyway, it came on, I could see my desktop, the files, etc. Then it did the same thing that it had done 3 year before...slowly fades out, turns off, then never came back on!
Well because it had came on and I could see my stuff, I figured I have a chance of saving it. So a few days later I took it to the Apple store. The guy told me that They could fix it but it would cost $400 or more and that it would erase all my files (which is really my only concern). Obviously I said thanks but no thanks.
So here's my question, if I buy a cheap Mac computer off ebay (example: http://search.ebay.com/mac_Apple-Po...aprchiZQQsaprcloZQQsascsZ2QQsaslcZ1QQsbrsrtZd), could I take the memory or whatever out of my Ibook G4 and put it in Mac desktop and get my files?
