Most likely it's a dead CPU card--the most common cause of failure. However, if you've never opened it up check for loosely seated items first if you don't want to send it in before exhausting all options. Don't buy a spare machine unless you know what your own problems are first. You need access to a working machine to A-B test or you will resolve nothing. Also try to start it opened up with pram battery disconnected altogether, power adapter plugged in. ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
