Cables are all connected, the HD and PS fan spin no problem. There is no boot noise and no video. I am going to follow up the previous suggestion when I get a chance and attach an ADB keyboard with the power button. Stephen PS it's almost definitely a good buy since it's labeled at $35 and I

I'm guessing that it is hard drive/OS problem if everything has checked out OK. Do you have a spare SCSI drive with a universal MacOS installed to take with you to try with the 840AV? Or better yet a bootable CD-ROM? Maybe an old copy of Norton Utilities... Since the SuperMac(? - can't

Again, I'm rusty, but should I not at least get a blinking question mark icon if the OS/Drive is bad? And if the monitor is bad I would have expected a BIOS boot chime. Pls let me know if I'm off base. Cheers, Stephen On Sunday 09 May 2004 12:33, John Kamimura wrote: I'm guessing that it is

I think I am going to give up on this one... I'm betting on the last one at this point. I'm going to see about trying it with my trusty old 12 monochrome, but beyond that I think it's a lost cause. I didn't try reseating RAM but I am going to guess that it's a dead logic board based on the fact

I actually did remove the card completely when I tested it on the onboard video (and reseated it after) but I will look into rasterops configuration, thanks for the tip! Cheers, Stephen On Sunday 09 May 2004 20:22, Tina Holm wrote: At 19:09 -0500 09/05/04, Stephen Alexander wrote: I think I
