Well, it does actually see the RAM because it boots to OS X, but
here's the weird thing. Everything is fine and I see the apple and
the spinning lines, then the screen goes really dark, like the
backlight shuts off. I can barely see what's on it. If I try and
login it throws back an error saying it can't proceed and goes tot
he login screen. If I let it sit long enough the screen eventually
brightens again. The screen darkens whether the RAM is in the top or
bottom slot. If the RAM is in the bottom slot it does login fine. I
have tried resetting the pram. I have tried a DIMM I know is working
on the top slot. I was able to boot, but it only sees the memory in
the bottom slot, well, it says it has 128MB's. I have 10.2.8 and
system profiler doesn't show the RAM slots. I've tried with 1 128MB,
2 128MB's, a 128 and a 64MB. I have a 300MHz G3 67MHz bus with 1MB
cache. It does read that correctly. Does anyone have any suggestions
as to how to troubleshoot/proceed? Thanks!
The backlight going out is a common problem with the Wallstreet. The
fix is fairly simple.
Restart into OS 9.
Sleep the computer.
Wake the computer.
Restart into OS X. At this point Startup Disk usually freezes. Do a
three fingered salute and try it again.
On one of my WallStreets this happens from time to time. This fix
has always fixed it.
