PRAM battery, maybe?
Subject: Dead IIci
Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2001 07:48:33 -0700 (PDT)
After upgrading my IIci to a full 128MB of RAM, it started having
intermittent
faults later, and then died altogether yesterday.
Obviously, the first suspect is RAM, so I let Newer's RAMometer do an
exhaustive memory test all weekend. After two and a half days of uptime, it
reported no failures and was still running.
I rebooted into NetBSD, the machine's main OS, and tried to compile a kernel
as a test. After two hours, it froze solid, and now it won't boot at all.
The machine has a Daystar '030 50MHz PowerCache + FPU, 128MB RAM, two
Farallon EtherWave NuBus cards in slots C and E, a 2.05GB Quantum Fireball
and
uses internal video only.
Suggestions? I will try reseating NuBus cards and RAM, but what else could
it be?

By this I mean I get a chime from the system, and I can hear the HD come up
to speed, but the screen stays totally black.
