If you reset the PRAM and now you only get a grey screen on boot, you most likely have a bad logic board. However, it could be something else connected to the LB, like the hard drive and etc. First, though, when you start the machine hold down the following keys: Apple, Option, O, F

If you get a white screen with small black text, you're in Open Firmware. From here, you have a command prompt where you can enter commands. What you'll do is an NVRAM reset. Type (without quotes):

"reset-nvram" (then hit return)
"set-defaults" (then hit return)
"reset-all" (then hit return)

The machine should then restart. If you don't get the Open Firmware screen originally or you still get the grey screen after resetting the NVRAM, then you should probably have an Apple Store or Authorized Reseller take a look at it for you.

How much did you pay for the iBook? Does it have the FireWire port or is it just the regular USB-only version?

paid 500$ for it like a dummy soon as i heard ibook i got duped and it only has usb its a special eddition graphite one though !!!!

also i dont get a chime when i start the machine up could this have something to do with it ????

one more thing if i type mac boot from open firmware it displays a os logo with the message /pci@f200000/mac-i0@17/ata-4@1f000/disk@o:8,\\:tbxi

will try suggestion
