Does the ROM affect the power supply? What's puzzling me is why the power supply starts the instant I plug the machine in. . .
I tried using the ROM from the other board, and nothing changed. I thought they were "somewhat" interchangeable, just with loss of capability, like you said. Is there any way to tell what series ROM I have by looking at it? Can't access system profiler with the computer in this condition. Thanks for all the info, I really appreciate it!
