You mentioned the PRAM battery... Radius 81/110 wasn't the Mac clone that, when the PRAM battery was dead, simply didn't boot? I don't know, since you've said that the battery was fine...

I have a Radius 81/110 clone (basically an 8100/110 in another box) which suddenly died. It was working fine one day and when I switched it on the next, it failed to start up. All the drives were powered up as normal; the PRAM battery was fine, even the little power light on the front of the box was lit. But there was no start-up chime and every indication that the motherboard was dead. I've pulled it apart and I'm pretty sure the PSU is fine, supplying a steady 5 and 12 colts on all lines. The motherboard is powered. I pulled out all the DRAM simms, the expansion cards, L2 cache and disconnected the drives; still no dice. The machine has a G3 PDS upgrade card also, but I've tested that in a 6100 and its fine. I've also tested the ROM card in the 6100. The PDS terminator was placed back in the PDS slot. It's unusual for a motherboard to just die like this but there's nothing else I can test. This is no longer my main machine, but I would like to get it running again. Has anyone come across similar problems with a 1st Gen PowerMac/clone? Any ideas what else it could be? Dan ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
