Okay All, I'm trying to avoid another trip to Fremont to DT&T. This would/will be my third fix in 2 years.
So there I am. Surfing the web via my stock 2400c (except for the 96mb ram upgrade) and a Farallon wireless card. It was getting pretty warm sitting on my blanket (restricted heat dissipation I would think), but no problems with performance. Then, without warning, IE hung up with the cursor clock/wristwatch icon for about 60 seconds..then right to a fatal error bomb icon/message. I clicked on the restart. The computer restarted (without chime-the speaker is turned down) but froze at the happy mac. I forced another restart and the same thing happened. I unplugged the power plug and then popped the battery out...of course this lead to the green light of death (or so I thought). With the batttery out and the plug in I held the reset button for 60 seconds....it went off. Then the battery went in. I tapped the power key and the computer resarted, or so I thought. The computer turns on (the cap light on the yu keyboard works) and the drive accesses (I can hear it make a sound like it's "reading")...but then, when the screen should turn on and the drive should continue to "read" it just spins and the screen stays off. The powerkey won't turn it off and a warm reboot is disabled as well. So, experts, what is it? Is the board fried, or is it a hard drive issue? Or what? If it is the drive, shouldn't the unhappy mac show on the screen? What gives?? If I haven't explained this well enough please let me know what to clarify.
