-- Can't restart IIci
Hi list- My computer was working well. I'm using 7.5.3, I have the original drive that I use for start up and a 2gb external with a duplicate OS. There is a supermac video card, cache card, an ether net card and 32 mb RAM. I had gotten rid of a 17" NEC monitor (stupidly) and am now running an apple 14" off the built-in card. The SuperMac doesn't seem to like the 14". As I said everything was running and I even had the IIci operating on my network. Then...I tried to force a start from the external drive using a key combination which killed something. The keys were shift, option, command, delete...which I use on my S900. Now I can't restart. I tried zapping the PRAM and got no zapping activity. When I start, the monitor lights to white (just a flicker) and then back to black. I hear what sounds like a hd crackle for a few seconds and then just the fan. I disconnected the external SCSI and ethernet card. No help. I removed the video card, no difference. Tried to start from 7.5 floppy (disk first aid)-no activity. Took the machine apart, cleaned it, changed the original battery, checked to see if all the ram and cards were seated, put it together and nothing. I don't know if I fried something or I'm missing something simple or what. Any ideas out there? Thanks for any help. dan_A -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
