Okay, I talked to my very mac-savvy boyfriend (aka sent him this thread to read) and here's what he told me.
He said it's almost certainly a hardware problem, BUT the only way to tell is to reformat the hard drive and reinstall OSX, which you can't do because you don't have the disks. I would see if you can find someone with those disks. Also, IMO, the place the laptop was obtained is totally sketchy, if based upon nothing else other than the fact that they lost a set of OSX CDs and those were the only ones they had...plus you know, only knowing OS9.
Basically you're limited until you can reinstall your OS. If the problem then reoccurs, it's definitely your hardware.
That's all I got for you I'm afraid.
