Here's a stupid user trick...
I was in the middle of installing a scsi card and drive into a b&w
G3. I had the panel down. Suddenly nature called and I went off to answer.
Meanwhile, one of my local rugrats sees the confuser "free" and
decides to power it up. Said rugrat was carrying a glass of icewater.
Yup. I think you can fill in the rest of the story.
The under-coordinated munchkin, in the process of seating, lost
control of the glass and spilled a bit of water and a couple of cubes
onto the panel/motherboard.
At first I wasn't too concerned. At least it wasn't some sugar loaded
concoction. After drying up the water et al, the poor G3 managed to
power up. For awhile. Then the grey display in forty-eleven languages
popped up stating that I needed to press the reset key. Oh, Oh...
Since then, it will power up for a brief period before the G3 freezes
up and asks to be reset.
The water landed primarily in the memory card slots/fire wire port
area. It still rolls over and plays dead with all the pci cards
removed, save the video card.
Any ideas of what may have taken the hit? (Or is this a good excuse
to upgrade to a 2.5g quad core?)
Thanks
Mark
