Thanks Phillip, I see something, wish I missed before. When I power on the computer, the light flashes for one second on the CD-Drive. When I press the CD tray, it won't open. It may just be the Power Supply. I tried unplugging it, and reseating it. No Go. I'll see if I can locate a spare.
There may be hope after all. -- Aaron Willems > it could easily be the power supply, or the power supply connector, try > unplugging and > replugging it, and if available check the voltages with a meter. you also > might try > pulling the hard drive as that puts a lot of load on the power supply, if it's > only > marginal you should get the startup sounds, though if it's very dead that > won't help. > note that some things can sort of work with too little power while other > things are more > sensitive, and it's possible that some of the output voltages have failed but > not others. > in my experience, power supplies are far more likely to fail than logic > boards. of > course, reseating everything including the processor if socketed is also a > good idea. i'd > be very surprised if it was actually the power supply, if you can borrow one > from another > machine to check it with that's your' best bet, assuming you can't borrow a > volt meter to > check all the outputs (+5, +12 for sure, probably -5 and/or -12, and possibly > +3.3v for > the processor, i'm not familiar with that particular machine). if you can > borrow a meter, > email me off list and i may be able to help with determining what the outputs > should be > and what the pinout on the power connector is, though xlr8yourmac.com may also > have it > somewhere in connection with using a pc power supply. > -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
