Seems like the poor Powerbook's really having a tough time. :-o
I hope you're backing up the data on a regular basis...  :roll:


One of the nice things about macs is the target boot option. With the mac off, hold down 'T' and turn the machine on ( keeping the t button down) This will allow you to emulate a firewire HD. Just use a firewire cable to connect it to another mac, and you can get your stuff off, or use carbon copy cloner to backup the entire drive to a usb drive.


Unfortunately WinXP doesn't recognise the powerbook as an HD in T mode... MacOSX x86 does though... hmmm, naughty Mr Jobs...
