Tonight I began to upgrade a newly bought G3 desktop 233MHz Rev A 64Mgb, 2MB VRAM, Quantaum HD 4G, CD, and diskette.
I removed the 64Mgb module and replaced it with a OWC 256MB and added another OWC 256MB and a Kingston ValueRam 128MB all new from the factory. I replaced the PRAM battery. I then removed the Vreg to check the manufacturer, OK. Removed and replaced the ROM to check Rev. number. I then closed the hinged cover that the power supply is on and there was a bit of resistance, but a little force fixed that. I closed the case and inserted all the jacks( keyboard, monitor and power) and tried to start from the keyboard. Nothing but the fan. No pilot light. No HD spin. The pwr supply is loose and the screw that ties it down is stripped. I used a wrist grd strap before I unplugged the pwr cord. I Unplugged the pwr cord to get access to the MB. If I used excessive force and I cut a wire, which wire would it likely be? The ribbon wire or a red, black, white,etc wire? Where would I check for power and at what voltage? I went in several times and cleaned contacts and removed all the new memory and replaced the 64MB module. All I got was that I am now able to power up the power supply/fan from the keyboard, but not able to power off from the keyboard or anything else. The monitor never lights up. Help would be appreciated. Big dummy, DAN -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
