Hi I've had a number of Pismos where the hard drive doesn't show up even though the drive is known to be working.
On the odd occasion it is the hard drive cable, but most of the time the logic board is at fault.

The external case looks fine and I was able to charge the battery on another Pismo. I replaced the hard drive with a known working one, the ram with known working ram and the processor with a working processor. No chime, no sound, no boot. Then I unplugged AC and took out battery and DVD, unplugged the pram battery and pushed the reset button at the back. it then chimed and booted to a blue screen, but shows no hard drive. What suggestions would you have about further checks needed, or parts to replace? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
