Have you tried reseating the CPU daughtercard? I had similar symptoms on my Pismo (chime but no video) after pulling the CPU daughtercard to upgrade the memory in the lower slot. At first I assumed it was a bad memory module, but after some memory module swaps it appeared that the problem was elsewhere. I finally discovered that some of pins on the CPU daughtercard were (apparently) not always making good contact. I found that by pressing firmly, but gently :), above each of the corner pins when reseating the CPU daughtercard I was able to get consistently good connections. Hope this helps, I've also been looking at the same hard drive. Let us know how you like it (once you get solve the video problem, of course). -Jeff [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "You can't brew a premium lager with a kool-aid mentality." --Harold Green in _The_Red_Green_Show_ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
