I noticed my daughter's Pismo 400/128 (OS 9.2) was flashing the sleep light but the apple was lit. I opened it to find a blue screen and the HD running.
Did a restart with Cmd-Ctl-Pwr and screen turned mostly white with a gradient edge to the blue in the upper and right corners. Had to pull the battery and power cord to stop it (I forgot about reset button). On restart I get a chime, HD spins up, but only one brief sound of any head movement. Screen stays black and the external monitor I plugged in also doesn't light up. I then remembered the reset switch, held it in for 10 seconds and then restarted. This time the HD cycled through a normal bootup, but both screens remain black. I'm guess the video section has fried, but don't know much about it--like is it separate from the motherboard? Any ideas from these symptoms would be much appreciated. I have another pismo I can swap parts with to isolate the component, but that board looks pretty buried. thanks, Jack -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
