My roommate's beige (OSX.2.8) now refuses to boot since I restarted it this afternoon.

All I get is the gray screen with the floppy/question-mark icon.

I tried booting from the OSX.2.3 install CD but the comp just ejects the CD right after it starts reading it.

I've tried booting with the Diskwarrior and TechTool Pro CD's but they are ejected after they are read for a few seconds.

The PRAM was zapped for 3 bongs, but alas, no joy.

The CD's were tried again but they were ejected a few seconds after the comp started reading them.

I opened 'er up and disconnected/reconnected everything... still same problem.

Checked the PRAM battery's charge and it reads at 3.67v.

I'm at a complete loss here folks, does anyone have any ideas/have I missed something?
