Ok I got it out of the box and turn it on the book made a odd beep noise. It looks like it is on but the white lite under the powerbook g4 text is pulsing a white lite.

Whats going on here?

I think the white pulsing light means its sleeping, if the setup is the same as a iBook. Just tap a few buttons and it should wake up

If you push and hold the power button until the machine restarts that may well reset it and get it going again.

Have fun,I just got into the TiBook too.

Good Luck
Ed
