This happens on PCI PowerMacs. Unplug the mains and pull out the PRAM battery, then leave it a few hours. That clears every last drop of info out of the NVRAM. If you don't fancy that try zapping the PRAM first. I've had machines of that era refuse to even turn on, refuse to shut down and fire up but not boot before now. Yanking all power to the board and leaving them to stew cured em all. I think it's a sign the PRAM battery may need replacing, or replacing it (if you did so recently) has lead to partial loss fo the PRAM contents or corru thanks mate. i'm giving that a try. hopefully that'll sort it. i guess i'll know in the morning. i put the pram battery back in and powered up. all good. shutdown caused it to reboot. so i pulled the keyboard and tried again. shutdown actually shutdown. problem solved after swapping the keyboard. thanks for your help guys. regards -- Mike Karthauser Managing Director - Brightstorm Ltd Email >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web >> http://www.brightstorm.co.uk Tel >> 0117 9426653 (office) 07939 252144 (mobile) Snailmail >> Unit 8, 14 King Square, Bristol BS2 8JJ -- Mac UK is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Mac UK list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/mac-uk.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:mac-uk@mail.maclaunch.com> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-uk%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
