Bad news though. I left the powerbook plugged in while I was
connecting the display to test the processor (wanted to make sure it
finished booting, as I have a quiet drive). I connected the left
cable from the display, and accidently shorted the power pins,
booting the machine. Turned it off, connected the 2nd plug, booted,
red tinted video (booo). I have another display, so I swapped to
make sure I didn't just tear the cable, same thing. Visual
inspection of the plugs shows nothing in the way and no screwed up
wires.
Zapped nvram and pram - no luck
Connected external VGA display - looks fine, LCD is turned off, of course.
So the external doesnt have a red tint, while the LCD does. If so,
the chipset and VRAM is probably fine, maybe the cable or LCD is bad.
Anyone run into this before? I'm going to check fuses and such
tomorrow, and if all else fails, I DO have another logic board I can
put in there, just not in the mood to do it tonight.
Check the fuses, but I have my doubts that is the problem.
Plus, my G3s work. Minus, I cooked something else. Of all the stupid luck...
On another note, what do any Newer G3 upgrade users recommend to
keep an eye on temps, and what are good/bad temps for it?
I put a thin copper shim beneath the aluminum heat block.
