Re: Daystar genesis problems and Video card

[Michael Bergman]

I don't know if this is true of the genesis, but on some earlier 
macs, if there was a short on the video interrupt line (as could 
happen if the pins on a connector got squashed together), it would 
keep the machine from booting.

I *have* encountered dead battery issues -- you asked -- and I think 
the reason it's so frequently brought up is that a used or 
trash-picked machine is likely to still have the original, now dead, 
battery in it.

A dead battery doesn't completely incapacitate every model of mac -- 
on many models, the only symptom will be that the machine can't 
"remember" what time or day it is from one reboot to the next.  On a 
few, however, the machine won't boot at all with a dead battery.  I 
don't think the Daystar/Genesis is one of those, however.

I'm sorry I don't have any more specific suggestions.
