Powerbook 540 won't boot, makes wooop wooop noises - 2009/01/27 11:57 Hi
I wonder if anyone can help me out here...

I have obtained an old powerbook 540 which upon powering up makes an odd 'woop woop' noise about every 20 seconds. It does not boot from either hard drive or os7 floppy disk but the mouse pointer is visible on screen at all times and will move if I touch the trackpad.

Any advice would be highly appreciated!

Many thanks,
Thomas
