not that i'm averse to unorthodox solutions, but really? have you had success with this? i ask, because i have a CCII with a similar problem. rather than the checkerboard, this one gets as far as a moveable mouse pointer on a blue desktop. it stops short of the litte picture of a diskette with the flashing question mark. i checked the battery, and found it to be COMPLETELY dead. absolute zero volts. i replaced it, but get no better results. is there some special procedure to undergo when changing a completely dead battery? jj -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
