Hi, Yesterday I came back home after 3 months abroad and started up my MDD, it booted fine and I did some work and then played music from the harddisk. Suddenly the music playback got stuck and the Mac froze. I switched it off holding down the power button. When I started it again I got the screen that tells you to restart in many languages (a stupid thing - when you restart after seeing this screen the mac never restarts, all you get is that same sceen again over and over).
But this time I didn't even get the "restart screen" again but only a bong and then nothing, both my monitors stayed dark. I couldn't even reset the PRAM, no second bong. Starting with the Alt button didn't work either. After reading some old posts about the PRAM-battery issues I bought a new battery today but still the same. I tried reseating the 3 RAM-sticks, 2 512 and one 1024 MB, still no go. What more can I try to get my Mac to work again? I am running mostly Tiger and sometimes Panther if I want to use older Adobe apps. Would this be a bad power supply? I live in a relatively cool climate, the Netherlands, the fan of my MDD 1.25 GHz (last model with FW 400) only speeds up sometimes when it's very hot in the summer. Thanks for your comments.
