Hi everybody,

My boss have an iBook running OS 9.2.2. Since last week, the computer have trouble to boot. We hear the chime but the volume is very low and the computer start to boot and after a while shutdown itself. Did someone experience something similar? Sometimes it works and sometimes not. On boot failure, we push random keys on the keyboard and it boot well most of the time...it's not regular!

Thanks for any help, advices, tips, comments or suggestions!

Vincent
