Powermac G4 Quicksilver 800.
256Mb Ram, a cute Seagate Barracuda 40Mb HDD,
the original video card (an ATI), an optical
drive, and a (as tol by the guy) G4 800 proc.
plug it in, push the power button, button goes
bright, PS, case´s fan cooler and CPU fan cooler
spins, then when I get my finger our of the
power button, it goes dark again, fans spin down
and remain shut. Nothing on screen, no other
noises heard.
SOP for a machine just shipped to you:
Replace the PRAM Battery.
Re-seat connectors, especially the ones from the power supply.
Re-seat the DIMMs.
Re-seat the video card.
Connect only keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
Hit the boot button.
IF no BONG at all, pull HD cable, retry. Reseat
processor. Pull DIMMs - if no breaking glass
sound, then look at processor and power supply.
IF BONG, look on to dealing with video and HD issues...
Get the tech doc for your Mac and follow its troubleshooting steps...
And, of course, ObGroundingReligiousArg: Make
sure you're properly grounded for all of the
above. ...I just got off the phone with a client
that is upset because Kensington shipped him
*six* dead DIMMs in a row. Guess what he wasn't
doing?
