When I have seen this symptom (4 or so different machines), it has always been a bad daughtercard/processor. But according to other listers' GLOD info, it could also be a bad I/O board, or bad motherboard. 1) Send to DT&T (http://www.dttservice.com 800-622-7977) for repair. Will be $200-350 depending on what needs to be fixed. 2) Get ahold of a parts machine or parts (try ebay or this list) and replace the suspected bad components (I'd start with the processor daugthercard, which can be had off ebay for $15 - $50, if you can wait around and keep looking). Also, assuming it's the processor, AND assuming you want to continue using your 2400, you could pick up an upgrade card (2 currently for sale on the Mac2400 page) instead of a replacement daughtercard. Note that if you did this, and it turns out that it's a motherboard or i/o board problem, you will still have a non-working machine. 3) Hit up someone off this list (check the "Volunteers list" off the support page of the Mac2400 site) to crack open the machine and diagnose the problem for you. A good deal of us have spare working machines and/or spare parts. Here's a direct link: http://webobjects.uwaterloo.ca/mac2400/support.html#Volunteer 4) Sell it off (whole or parted out) via this list, the Mac2400 site, or eBay. One with a bad motherboard went on eBay just a few weeks ago for $162.50. Hope this helps. --Brian Kameoka Seattle, WA ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
