I've reseated all data cables. Haven't reseated the motherboard power cable, but I've reseated the hard drive power cable, and can't quite figure out how to remove the CD-ROM drive power cable, as it's enclosed. I've tried removing the hard drive and CD-ROM drive data cable connections from the motherboard, but that didn't help. I'll try pulling out everything, even the CPU, and see what I can come up with. I was hoping removing the battery and resetting the PMU would do the trick, but that failed as well. Am I right in assuming that because holding the mouse button ejects the CD-ROM tray, the CPU is functioning because it has to go into openfirmware? - Justin [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHenrrqt29EJDZlM4RAjY6AJ4/0LwLxjeJAj+71rqc+FPMAYP8swCdFTk5 eCu4v2dao1gj8OIjq6ohcm4= =mKhG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----home | help
