Hi folks,
I have a 7500 upgraded with a NewerTech G3/400 and an ATI 16 MB card
that suddenly decided it doesn't want to boot all of the way up.
When I turn it on while the monitor is attached to the ATI card, I
hear very little disk activity and the power indicator on the
monitor stays amber.
If I switch the monitor to the internal video and boot the computer,
the monitor will light up but I never get past the grey screen, no
extensions load, no flashing disk question mark, nothing.
So far I've pressed the cuda, removed the battery for 10 minutes,
replaced the battery with what I'm fairly certain is a good battery,
and replaced the NewerTech card with the original daughter card, all
with the same result.
Time to start swapping out RAM sticks?
For starters try removing the video card.
Also see if you can get into Open Firmware (OF) by pressing Apple-Option-O-F.
If you can then type reset-all (return).
