[1st] Re: 7100/80 no boot!

[Dale Hill]

Sure way to fix it.  Take the cover off of the 7100/80 and replace it 
on you 7100/60.  I had three /80s that never did take the nubus 
upgrade. I simply cannot put up with that kind back-breaking 
nonsense.  Don't ask me why.  I never figured it out.  So, ... I have 
a 7100/80, if the world looks at it. Who cares.

Acquired a 7100/80 a couple of days ago with hopes of
replacing a 7100/66 as a Sonnet G3 upgraded NuBus Mac.
Swapped the logic boards as the /80's case was in rough
shape. Reassembled and booted to test the assemble. With
the case top off, it booted fine and seemed "happy."
Slid the top back on and hit the power key; Got the boot
chime and then it stopped at the grey screen with a cursor
arrow. PRAM reset 5 times; nothing but the grey screen.
Started parts swapping to isolate the problem. No luck.
Tested all parts except the logic board in the original
7100/66. Boots and runs great.
Did I get the final few minutes of life out the old thing
when I first tested it with the top off?
Any suggestions welcome!
