Ibook g4 updates

I was using my iBook G4 (Tiger w/ latest updates) when it suddenly crashed. The screen went black - not black like when it's off, but black like you're watching a dark scene in a movie. I couldn't get out of it, so I turned it off and tried booting up again. It worked but crashed a second time minutes later. After attempting to reboot a second time, random colors came up on the screen - fine pinstripes of pink, green, blue, etc. Now, after several tries, all that comes up is that dark black screen. In addition, the fan goes crazy, blowing air really fast out the back (near the screen hinge) and making a grating, vibrating noise. The power button does not respond, so the only way to turn it off is to take out the battery. It sounds like it's a hardware problem - turning it on with the Tiger disk inserted doesn't seem to help. Should I just bring it to an Apple store? On the plus side, maybe if I wait they'll replace it with a new Intel iBook. Haha probably not...Thanks in advance for the help, sorry for the long description. iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

IBook G4, but not in 480mbit mode. Other similar devices like the 1TB Seagate Freeagent work in hi-speed mode on my USB 2.0 ports and hub, but I don't have another machine with USB 2.0 to test the Acomdata on. I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.6. #6 I have that same "hi-speed" USB 2.0 Acomdata 320GB external hard disk, and I can't get it to operate above 12mbit/s on my iBook G4 either. It won't connect to my hi-speed USB 2.0 powered hub at all. It will work when plugged directly into my iBook G4, but not in 480mbit mode. Other similar devices like the 1TB Seagate Freeagent work in hi-speed mode on my USB 2.0 ports and hub, but I don't have another machine with USB 2.0 to test the Acomdata on. I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.6. Try completely erasing the drive and re-format it using Disk Utility. Format it to DOS (FAT-32). That's a long shot but it may work. I suspect those particular AcomData drives have defective firmware and\or drive electronics and probably should have been recalled or returned. Not much you can about that....Another thing you might try: Remove the drive from its case and place it in an external USB 2.0 case. That has a better chance of working.Regards.
