The Chime usually comes up pretty early in the P.O.S.T. Long before it
goes out and checks for the system. I would start to wonder if there
wasn't an audio issue???? You can try reseting the pram and listing
for additional chimes and see if you here them.. I would suspect that
if the original startup chime isn't heard, neither will be the ones
for the pram reset... But the screen should turn off and on as you
hold it down and it cycles through each reset.
Do you have the system CD/DVD you could try to boot off of??
Gus.
Resetting PRAM is a good idea.
The chime will have been muted IF the last owner/user set the Mac's
sound volume to mute.
This also silences the system chime.
Resetting PRAM will turn volume setting back to default, then if there's
still no chime, the cause lies elsewhere.
