Hi,

I recently had a problem with my iBook. It would turn on but would get stuck on the "grey background apple" page with the gear turning, and it wouldn't load OS. After trying a number of options presented by the Apple care rep I was told to bring it in, and ended up spending almost $200 for data recovery, and re-installation of OS. Just wondering if anybody else has had this problem, or if they know why it may have occured?

Cheers.
