For machines with hard power control. Turn it on, wait, turn it off and flip it back on immediately (as fast as you can switch it off and on). Many machines with a dead battery that won't start will with this procedure. An alternative where feasible is to power on, wait and then do a reset. The video won't initialize on many machines if the battery is dead. Doing either of these procedures does a PRAM reset now that the power supply is up. It's a funny timing issue between the power supply and PRAM or something such. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
