Here is what happened to my iBook

Well, two days ago, it did not walk from sleep even though it was plugged. So I unplugged it and took the battery away too. I put everything back and now when I start the computer I get a ?

Can anyone help me...

Thanks

That happened to me a couple of weeks ago when I was trying to boot into OS 9. I just booted from the OS X CD and reinstalled the OS. A quicker solution would probably be to boot from the Disk Warrior CD and use that if you have it.

That's the first thing I'd try. The fact that it didn't wake from sleep sounds fishy though. Is your machine still under warranty?

it is not under warranty :-(

This happened to me. Usually the file structure and disc need repairing. Here's what I do:

Startup from the OS X CD (use a pin to open the CD tray), wait for the OS X installer to boot. Don't run the Installer, instead go up to the Menu bar and select Disc Utilities and use that to verify and repair the hard drive, and repair permissions if need be (Jaguar only).

If the iBook was in OS 9 when this happened (the only time this happens to mine), I run Disk First Aid from the OS 9 CD first, then repair the Disk from the OS X CD. Then re-boot from the OS 9 CD, where I get enough of the desktop and control panels back to choose OS X as the Startup Disk, and restart normally.
