    Rs.1000 is not enough (u can only buy 10 coconuts :) )
    so its not good to offer any money if u can not afford it. :)

    whn powerbook starts press and hold mac key
    u can use external cd drive or memory stick with mac os image
    if u have the system inside press mackey+S to goto command prompt and execute below command to restart apple setup again
    mount -uw /
    rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    shutdown -h now
    (same technic to remove mac password)

    hope this will help

    some place i can get this fixed.

    thx.

    i even can pay u 20 coconuts. :D


    lol
    thanks for the offer but im not in srilanka mate. if i was there i would definetly help you.
    but when you plug the cd, did u press the key combination for boot order screen.

    try to get that. if that doesnt work that means your mac is way too old

    you can also change the cd drive inside
    you need to carefully open the scews underneath the laptop and open the top cover (where the keyboard) then you can plug standard cd drive for laptop. its always good to take it to a technician

    below link is the google search ive done chk it
