it took a very small fall onto carpet but the headphones that i tried wont work either so its not the speakers either, i restarted the computer of course. any sugguestions on what i can check
can someone please help me. can a connection in the laptop be loose? after it fell off the couch onto the carped it stopped working but the speakers didnt break becuase headphones wont work either
any help would be appreciated
I wish I was tech-savvy enough to help other than to say it sounds as if you should have the repair guy take a look at it (is there a Certified Apple Reseller nearby?)...normally a 40$ or so charge for looking
Then again someone here may have the answer
Good luck!
You can try resetting the PMU (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431) but if that doesn't work and the sound stopped working right after the fall I'd say you're boned. The best (and really only) advice I can offer is that if you don't have the expertise to take it apart yourself then you're gonna have to get it inspected/repaired.
Along with resetting the PMU, you should check the airport card and RAM sticks to make sure they are not loose. I've heard that a loose Airport card can cause all sorts of trouble for PowerBooks.
