Hey all,

My PowerBook freaked on me today. Basically, it shut down on me immediately. No warning or anything, so I futzed with it for an hour and then just left it alone. In that time it wouldn't even start up. I got a really quick flash on the screen then nothing. Ok, so I leave it alone for a few hours and she booted again. I zapped the PRAM, reset the funky button under the keyboard, and now I want to go through and clean out all the Open Firmware stuff.

I'm convinced it got stuck in its brain that the battery was dead because now it's running like nothing happened. So, a list of Open Firmware commands would be wonderful if someone has them.

Has anyone else ever had this happen with their PowerBooks?

Thanks!!!!

Josh
