I did the Battery-CUDA 30 min- CUDA again and still booted into OF. Once I get booted from OF with "mac-boot" into the 80Gig ATA every things seems normal. Except the front Panel on/off button remains brightly lit even after doing "shut-down" from OF or from the finder. It only goes out when I pull the power plug. Somehow that light has a short to a power source. Not having a schematic is a drag. Tomorrow I will try to remove the cover over the Light/Button and see what trouble I can get into. That lite/button is probably driven by a Logic Chip so I don't expect to see much. It would seem that whenever I apply power by plugging in the power cord the circuitry that expects to see the light off at this time sees it already lit thus corrupting the boot process. What ever normally happens between first ON button push and the final Bright Light when the Boot Process starts is probably not done so because of error the Boot goes directly to OF. Does that make sense? This was the situation before I removed peripherals. Some Keyboard commands are non responsive but not all. The Eudora specific key commands are all working. Given all the traffic on Snow Leopard maybe it's time I "bite the bullet" and find the best old Intel Mac I can afford. Plus a Line Conditioner. :-[ Thanks again, Ernie --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
