I would check the pins on big connector on the CPU card to make sure none are bent or anything like that. When you swap the CPU are you swapping the memory back and forth? It might be the RAM that's the problem. In either case try using just one RAM SODIMM (and switch them around too). And make sure the CPU card is pushed in all the way (that's the most common problem with Wallstreet CPUs) Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
