is my hd dead?

i have an old powerbook g4 and im assuming its hd is dead.

i did check the smart status and it said its failing when attempted to reinstal tiger. what happened was after it did re-install the OS. the machine just turned off. but the sleep light was still on. i pulled out the battery and the sleep light was still on.

so, i just wanna know if its the hd that caused it or something else internally, i am hoping its not the logic board.

please help!

 

it doesn't start up now.

had to remove the battery so that the sleep light wouldnt keep flashing. it was erie that it was still flashing even though i pulled it tho

 

ya its seems like nothing turns on at all. it did this the same thing awhile back but last time i can hear the hd start up and the dvd drive being scanned.

 

ok, so i tried it. comes up only to the grey screen now??!

must be HD troubles?

 

just got the hd from owc seems like it was the failed HD that messed up everything. thanks!
