Hi. Well even booting from my PowerBook in Target Mode didn't help. So it isn't the hard drive.
Booted into Tiger and it last ten minutes before it kernelled. Booted into Leopard (I have both on my PowerBook) and it lasted about 10 mins again. Although when I first booted it into Leopard it came up with an Open Firmware screen and a message saying invalid memory access. I then tried again and it booted all the way. It is just one capacitor by the looks of it. Are all the logic boards compatible with each machine. I might try and pick up a new board, although I did pick up my 3 eMacs (2x 800Mhz and this 1.25Ghz) for only £125 inc delivery a few months ago - so I might just order another one. I could probably make more selling the bits from this broken one to cover the new one.
