My PTP225 did a version of this, would only startup properly (no grey screen) from a shutdown. then it mysteriously started rebooting properly. I changed the battery twice, hit the cuda button with every hardware change (I tried a couple of different hard-drives, yet another problem), tried to boot from a C/D, floppy, no joy. Oh, and I put an 8x Apple CD ROM in, since the Phillips is, well, not good. Then finally left it for a day or so, and viola! it now acts normal. Except for the SCSI id problem I seem to be having. Where can I get the little jumpers in bulk? And is there a comprehensive site for configuring different brand's hard-drive's addresses, or must I go to the individual manufacturer's sites?
