Re: [PPC] mac mini won't boot

 

@Jackson

Did holding down the mouse button get the stuck CD out? It's worked for me in the past. I just tried it on my MDD and it spit the CD right out. Never had a G4 mini, though. Maybe they're different.

Hi,

Holding the mouse button down while starting up the computer should

anything in the optical drive.

What operating system are you trying to boot?

I've finally got my mac mini g4 working, to an extent. It will make the chime and i hear it spinning up, but nothing appears on my screen.
I also cannot eject the cd.

Is the dvi port analogue only or am i doing something wrong. the
monitor is 1080p if that's an issue
