Hi and greetings to all: I'm on my third pb; I've owned and loved 1400s, wallstreets, and now a 2400.
It worked fine for a week. Then when I tried hooking it up to a chain of SCSI devices, it wouldn't start. I disconnected the chain after powering down, but the 2400 still won't start. I get no happy or sad mac, but the screen does light up. Resetting via the apple-control-power switch, and the button on the back don't help. No GLOD, and it won't start from a compact flash card on a pc card I have with a system folder installed on it either. Neither will it start with the SCSI chain back together and connected with a system software CD in the CD ROM drive. I'm at a loss. I was thinking maybe the computer is trying to start up from a remote device which doesn't exist or it can't find a system folder. Any ideas? Change the hard drive? I could swap one out of one of my 1400s.... I have looked at the various diagrams online regarding dissasembly and feel it well within my means. I also saw a page about cardbus upgrading, and determined mine was the 2400/180 with the two yellow jumper wires. This page said that in order to enable the cardbus slots to recognize my USB to PC card, I simply had to "cut the codes." Not cut the wires... Can anyone direct me to what "cut the codes" means? That is, assuming I can correct the "non-green light of death" that plagues my 2400 now. Thanks in advance and many glad tidings from south Louisiana...
