thanks. you were right in assuming that LED 3 did not light. i assumed the worst seeing that there was neither LCD image nor startup chime.
i also failed to mention that i had tried a couple of different memory sticks. i know this is a fool's errand, but there is a mobo on ebay for $30 with a couple of bad caps that i will take a flyer on, just to try once more to keep this out of the landfill. since i don't have any history on this machine, i can't in good conscience part it out since i can't really test anything other than the optical drive and HD. ken -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
