Well since the machine was running before you moved it it should be an easy fix! The most likely thing is something has come loose. The cpu card or maybe ram is the most likely thing since you get no musical note at startup.(cpu is my guess) So you need to pull and reset the CPU daughter card and the ram chips. I would also check all wire plugs and other cards. I hope this helps and I've been through this before myself ;-) Will S -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
