I've got a really strange problem with my PB 1400 - it won't power off at all.
If I shut down from within the Finder, it restarts. I have Password Security turned on. If I click cancel, which normally shuts off the computer, it immediately restarts. If I let the Password Security dialog time out and auto shut down, it restarts. If I press the power button on the back at any time, it restarts. If I remove the internal keyboard and power on with the button on the back, then power off, it restarts. If I remove power (battery and power adapter), then plug the battery or adapter back in, it restarts. It's not a stuck power key, since once I boot normally, the dialog box associated with the power key does not appear, also, the problem appears without any sort of keyboard attached. I've zapped the PRAM with TechTool, didn't do anything. I tried removing all the RAM cards. The system does go to sleep, though. The last thing I did before the problem appeared was run SerialCheck with a UPS attached to the serial port using a DIN-8 to DB-25 adapter. The system itself has a Sonnet 400 MHz upgrade, has been recently upgraded to 64 MB RAM, and has an IBM 4.3 GB hard disk. The 1400 worked fine until some time after the upgrades were performed, so I don't think they have anything to do with my situation. Any advice is greatly appreciated. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
