If it was mine I would start looking for dirty or loose connections. especially for the hard drive. I would get out the old toothbrush and the contact cleaner or alcohol. I would also inspect wires for damage. It is possible the HD is just worn out and given up or that it has been dropped. You might find what the green light means online. The screen remaining totally dark " may " indicate other serious problems. How is the mobo battery? Not the main battery but the one for the NVRAM? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
