It sure sounds like a loose electrical connection. Did you reseat the Motherboard, CPU etc?Have you tried putting an OS disc in the CD and starting from that? Vibration can do strange things but seldom permanent damage.How cold was the unit when you tried to fire it up? If in an air conditioned room the lube on old drives may be thick. I'd plug it in and let it sit with the power on for a while, then try a restart. Paul C
My thought, too. Everything was tight. Yes, a CD was tried and the drive spun up up but would never read the info and proceed with the boot. Tried the various finger salutes, Nada. Pulled all cards plus the G3 card and put the CacheDoubler back in. Still nothing. Held the boot IDE drive in my hand horizontally and quickly flipped my wrist so the drive had a quick twist thinking the platter might be stuck. Didn't work. I'll try the drive in another box this weekend to see if it spins up. I also have a 2nd drive (SCSI) installed I thought had a system folder on it but it didn't work, either.
