Re: Dead Wallstreet

[Tom Peterson]

With all due sympathy, My wallstreet does not like to wake from sleep. 
It does however reboot to OS9 when this happens. I have replaced the 
hard drive on my poor beast and that has caused me to recommend the 
following voodoo trick. Take a metal object ( I have used pocket 
knives, watches, tiny magnets <be verwwy cawwfull here> and pass it 
along the right hand side of the wallstreet while holding down the 
power on/off button. The portion of the side adjacent to the keyboard 
seems to be more significant than the portion of the right side of the 
palm rest, mouse pad. Repeat a couple of times before abandoning. Good 
luck.

I have a Wallstreet that will not boot.  It has been behaving fine 
with a clean Jaguar install.  I left it sleeping for a while then come 
back and nothing.  Try to restart, nothing.  I try to do the pram 
reset holding function, control and shift and hitting the power 
button.  The fan spins and light blinks.  Do it again the fan goes 
off.  Try to boot normally nothing, not even the light blinking.  So I 
figured I would break it open and unplug the pram battery.  Once I got 
it open, I forgot how big of a job it was to get to it, so I just 
unplugged the PMU for a minute or so.  Tried it out, same thing.   I 
am just going to have to unplug the pram, or could it be something 
else?  Any tips to getting to the pram plug?

Thanks,
Pat
