ibook problems

Yeah, very very strange.

You could try going into open firmware and doing this:

reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all

But I really can't see why your keyboard isn't working...

I hope to god it works in open firmware!

keyboard worked and type exactly what you asked. all came back with an ok response. rebooted and still no keyboard. i had an spare ibook keyboard, my girlfriends, and swapped it out and same deal.

whats this about reseting the pmu? should i try it? im a little confused on how to do it.

 

[Sam0r]

Press CONTROL + OPTION + SHIFT + POWER (Power being the power button).

I'm just about to try that myself actually.

when i press all simultaneously nothing happens. but if i press power then quickly hold control, option and shift...black screen and a long pause then back to the welcome screen...no beeps or chimes so not sure if i did it right.

Yeah, you're meant to press all 4 together.

The machine won't turn on. Once you've pressed the 4 keys, wait for about 10 seconds then turn it on.

It should've reset all the settings back to defaults.

Its quite funny, I've got the same problem as you, apart from the opposite, my powerbook doesn't recognize when the screen has been shut, which is a bit of a bastard because I use an external display with it.
