Hey,
Sorry if this is OT but I didn't feel it was necessary to join another list just for one question (assuming that it is OT).
I have an 8500 series w/ 256MB RAM, 5Gb Hard Disk etc etc..
I have just bought a Sonnet G3/400 Upgrade card for it, for which I followed all the instructions when installing (it was new and sealed beforehand) - Once the installation was finished (and after I had removed the L2 Cache and Pressed the CUDA) I switched her back on and...Nothing.
The hard disks seem to spin up and some other stuff happens, but I get nothing on the screen and No chime.
...So, I go to troubleshooting section in the Manual and it says to reseat the card (which I tried), and remove the L2 Card (which I already did), so I slam the old 180MHz card back in there and it works fine..... I put the G3 back in and.... Nothing.
I really have no clue what to do. I'm told I can return it and get a refund but I want to make absolutely sure that I can't get it working before I do anything like that.
Daughter cards are difficult to insert properly as they take so much force it feels like you are going to drive it through the case. There is a notch in the edge connector (all the gold pins on the edge). This notch will all but disappear when the card is inserted fully so look for that. If that isn't it then the card is bad.
