You might want to try reseating/ensuring processor card is properly plugged in as I had a similar problem on my 8500 and I plugged the card in and it works. If the machine clicks then it may be that the processor is not pushed in all the way as it has special pins on it that switrch it off if its not plugged in prperly to stop it from frying. That said, I've never seen a 9500 but am assuming that the processor plugs in on a daughter card :-) Joel -- Mac UK is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Mac UK list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/mac-uk.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-uk%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
