powerbook turn on problem

[discodaz]

hello all

ive got a powerbook g4 that seems to be stuck on the start up screen (apple logo with the thing loading) before the log on screen. I have tried restart but still same problem. It just stays on the loading screen for ages. I have had a look on the apple website and it suggests a power reset but being relatively new to macs wanted the advice from someone who knows a bit more

If anyone can help that would be much appreciated

This should resolve it. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.ht

Can you boot off the CD, if so that should prove it's a software fault.

thanks for your help
