Hi Mad Dog been following the thread for a while and even though i have not had these symptoms on a powerbook i have on a G3 266 desktop i had.
after trying everything to get it going again as a last resort i replaced the cpu and it worked. I know that the cpu on the 3400 is soldered to the board but i think that might be your problem. (a burnt out cpu) vicki ---------- >From: Tom and Lisa P <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "PowerBooks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: PB3400 problems >Date: Thu, Jun 3, 2004, 1:06 AM > >> >>FYI, the floppy isn't an IDE device.
