I have a 733 MHz DA, running Leopard 10.5.8. I was flashing a couple
of video cards for it the other day, and I forgot to tape pins 3 &
11. When I put the original card back in (after giving up for a while
on the card flashing), it booted fine, but about an hour later the
light on the power button went out and the button stopped working.
This wasn't a problem for a while, as I set it to restart after a
power failure and I never shut it down. That is, until my parents
randomly decided that it shouldn't be on, and shut it down. Now, I
can't get it to boot at all, and the only way I can get it to even
power on is to put one of the AGP 8X video cards (sans tape) into it.
If pins 3 & 11 are taped or I use the original card, nada. When it
powers on, I get no disk activity and no video (even from the card
that just displays gibberish). Help, I need this machine for school!
PS. I posted a topic in the G-Books group about AirPort on this
iBook, but still have no replies, I'd appreciate it if someone would
give me some help.
