HELP!!! My bosses TiBook is freakin' out...
Hey everyone! I am having serious issues here. My boss just bought a used TiBook from one of our clients...I finally converted him.
Anyways, I formatted it to reinstall Jaguar. When it first came up the screen is all garbled up and now it doesn't always boot up. The screen is all trashed. Before I formatted and reinstalled, it wasn't doing it. Could something have fried on it? Did I do something wrong? I have done this s**t for years and have reinstalled OS X on many machines before this.
ANyone have any ideas?

what kinda Ti did you get him?
-disconnect all printers, external harddrive's etc
-take out airportcard, extra ram etc
-pop in mac os x installer or software restore cd
-start up with "c" pressed
if the baby starts up correct, then you most likely just have to:
-open "disk utility" and erase the harddisk
-do a clean install of mac os x
-reboot and set up a user
-reinstall airportcard's, extra ram etc one at a time
-hook/set up printers, external harddrive's etc
if the powerbook starts up from cd with the same effect's:
-hardware failure
-go to apple service center
'hope you got warranty or applecare!
good luck!
