Hello All,
My beloved 660av is causing me concern. It's having regular type 2
errors, disappearing hard drives and sad mac's (in that order) before
I spend a time consuming HD wipe and reinstall. I have some culprits
and I wanted your opinions before I either repair (if I can ($$$)) or
shoot it.
Suspect (a) - The PRAM battery is going "Bye Bye". A long shot though
the battery is producing 3.2v instead of the perscribed 3.6v. And I
have a past history of PRAM fandango's (Got to love Techtool Pro).
Suspect (b) - Software conflict/corruption. I've been using a
downloaded version of OS 7.6.1 and it is possible that was a little
shonky from the trip through the wires. Plus I have a scanner suite
that has caused a bit of heart ache in the past. It seems to be the
most plusable as the freezes and crashes I've experienced all seem to
come in long(er) operations like backingup my Newton or large software
updates/installs.
Suspect (c) - Hardware failure. Not the one I want to think about
but... Sad mac shows and 0000000F
00000033 as best as I remember it. This
does go away with rebooting and much PRAM Zaping. BUT curious is that
when I do ZAP the PRAM some things go to factory setting and others
don't. Since installed Techtool to zap it good and proper and that
seems to have plicated it.
Any ideas please ladies and gents. I'm a touch lost here.
Regards,
Adam
