I know this should go on the PCC list, but forgive me - I'm not subscribed there and you all are so smart! ;-)
Ok, so I hadn't plugged in the PowerTower Pro 200MP for a few months. Last time I booted it, it ran great. Now, however, I plug it in, turn it on, and get a chime. But no video. I checked to make sure the video card is seated (it is) and the cable is plugged in (it is). It can't be the monitor (I've tried 2, one of which is known-good -- it works on a PC). I can't even get it to zap the pram. I'll hold down apple-option-p-r and nothing happens, no reboot. The last time I had this problem it was because I had bad cache - the 1MB simm bit the dust. This time that can't be the cause; I don't have a cache simm installed (I do still have the bad simm in the closet though). I tried swapping CPUs back to the original 200MHz PCC card, no dice. Even pushed the Cuda (he he, JRStrong, anyone?), still no dice. HELP! Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking dead PRAM battery... But can that cause zapping the PRAM to fail? I've run this machine before w/ a dead pram battery and had no trouble...
