I purchased an iBook G4 last year through the a Government Initiative called the Home Computing Scheme. It was a bit of a tax break for employers to offer IT Equipment at good prices.

Now the iBook is just over a year old and as part of the deal I was supposed to have had a further two years Apple care cover. Last week the screen just went grey and I cannot get any kind of display at all. It is responding to keystrokes and to ejecting and inserting of DVD's. I have put the O/S install disk but still the grey screen prevails.

Is there anyway to start in safe mode(If such a thing exists for iBooks etc).

The problem I have is two fold

A) The company have now closed and Applecare are saying they have no such record of my warranty

B) I am what would be classed as a novice with Mac's

The last thing I want to do is to send it off to Apple and have a hefty bill if this maybe a problem there is a common fix for.

Thanks in advance
