genius bar. apple grand central. on Flickr.When I got home from work on Tuesday night, I turned on my computer. Whirrrrrrrrrrr. No startup chime. Black screen. Turned it off. Waited. Tried again. Same thing. I tried resetting the PMU, the PRAM. I brought it to my boyfriend’s house. Nothing. Whirrrrrrrrr. That night, I hopped on my iPhone, made a 9:00 Genius appointment at the Apple Store at Grand Central. Got there early, and was pleasantly surprised that they took me early (that has NEVER happened to me before). They tried resetting everything. Suggested a trip to Tekserve. Went to Tekserve after work, and they pronounced it dead. 
I had my iBook G4 for well over 6 years and knew I was due for an upgrade, but I put it off since getting a new machine isn’t exactly cheap.

About

Avatar My name is Bonnie Natko. I'm a native New Yorker (born in Brooklyn, raised in & to this day resident of Queens) & photographer who simply loves the city and the people who interact with it on a daily basis. Since this is not the original blog I set up my Tumblr account with, you'll be followed back by bondidwhat which is my "virtual scrapbook" blog. Feel free to follow that too if you'd like!
