I tried starting it up with no RAM in the slots and also with the HD and CDROM removed. It still chimes but I get no video, without any boot device I was hoping to at least see a gray screen with floppy image and a flashing ?. Looks like it may be DOA, thanks for the tips though. -- John Impellizzeri mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
