I had a 77 sportster 1000, Harley till a year ago... now all i have is a rusty rolling chassis of a Triumph. I better not get an orange clamshell to go with the rust :-)
I found the 2400 i/o board at PBparts ( I think) but it was $200 !!!
maybe it is the fuse ..or something else...
the green light come on the moment i put the battery back in after a reset. Not starting up at all.
I have a friend here who can do the board level work and i was jsut talking about cardbus enabling the 2400 with him. He does design for and upgrade chip manufacturer and he build robots.
so if i could do the troubleshooting he could do the soldering..
but i think that Dtt sounds like a better deal. I am just wishing i had a G3 for it.
SO i am waiting. I could end up with another 2400 to combine... that seems a good option too.
funny who we have two GLOD threads going... hope it is not a trend.
thanks everyone,.
> I tried the two different PM resets from Sidney Ho'spage at Mac2400 site.
If you tried all the reset steps and no luck it does look like a power board problem.
no luck, no startup green light comes back and stays steady. ---
?????? light is on or is not on? it does make a difference. could be as easy as a fuse, or worst case a dead board
if you don't want to or don't have the ability to repair yourself $150 is cheap way to go.
The G3 is nice but if you are happy with the way it is now, don't spend the money.
This is a stock 2400 in very nice shape with 80 mb ram and a 10gb toshiba drive (from ti-book). i don't have a g3 in it. but i do have a 2nd battery and a nice wireless card and a dockking staiton for it
DTT , Brian, says he is 99% sure it is the I/O board. I assume this is the same power I/O board others have had replaced. He says $150 and i should be up and running. If i had a G3 upgrade to install now would certainly be the time to add one.
Anyone got any G3 upgrades , or any other fixes i can attempt?
It seems to me that if i were to get another of these $300 2400's from ebay or this list that i would be getting the same old powerI/O board and not a new one.
ANy thoughts on the viability of this old 2400? thanks... Bon
