Have you tried to boot the machine from a MAC OS CDROM. Your hard drive may have died and the machine can no longer find the boot image.

Reset the Mac with a Mac OS cdrom in the drive and hold down the "C" key.

Listers,

My daughter's PM 4400 has "died": on startup all we get is a grey screen
with no keyboard or mouse response. No OS startup screen (we have 9.1
installed).


Of course, the first thing I did was replace the battery. No change. I had
purchased several, so a put in another battery, just in case the first one
was DOA. No change. Pressed the CUDA button, both with the machine off and
on. I get a chime, but still the grey display. There is some initial
activity out of the hard drive, but that soon ends.


I can't think of what else to do. Can anyone help?

Bob
