I've got a problem. My little 3400 was chugging along really nicely
until earlier today, while booting up (still on the os 9.1 screen:
loading extensions) I accidentally hit the battery release and,
because I wasn't plugged into the wall, the computer promptly shut off.
I slid the battery back in, and then tried to power up again and
nothing happened. SO, I plugged it into the AC adapter, and boom, it
powered up instantly - without pressing anything. All is well,
except now, when it boots up it says that there was a memory test
error, then followed by a warning that there isn't enough memory to
install my extensions and is booting up without them. Worse of all,
when I now go to "About the Computer" I have suddenly dropped from
what used to be 144mb of physical RAM to the original 16mb!
Have I somehow fried the memory in this thing? Is there any hope?
Thanks for your help,
