I am having an issue with an iMac G4 12? laptop. Mac operating system will not load properly, and a whirring and clicking noise occurs internally. Upon turning the computer on, after a pause, the screen indicating the Mac logo appears along with the pinwheel icon- this is then interrupted and the screen turns blue-grey and remains blank, with the pinwheel icon occasionally becoming visible before disappearing again. Internal clicking and whirring occurs throughout this sequence. Operating system never loads and the desktop never appears. This is not due to any handling mishap, i.e. dropping, slamming shut or any other contact damage. Any info or advice would be really helpful. Thanks!

Best wishes,

Ande

    Did that machine ship with OS 9? I had a hell of time zeroing my 12" (to be sold) and then reinstalling. I think I had to install 9 and then upgrade to X?
