Hi folks! Newbie on this list! So: I got a 8600/250 from a friend. Worked fine, except couldnt get it online. Kept returning a weird IP-address, so it wouldnt speak to my DSL router nor my little hub. Bought a PC-type PCI ethernet card, figured I could always get a driver on-line (with my other mac, & then copy over w/ a diskette). Inserted card in vacant slot, fired up, dead mac. Not even chime. Took out card. Dead mac. No chime. Found Cuda-button & pressed. Dead mac. No chime. Took out processor daughter card (the one sitting 90 degrees on top of MoBo), pressed Cuda-button, replaced card, dead mac. No chime. Managed to press Cuda-button again, with processor card in place. Dead mac. No chime. Now, the Pram-battery is dead. The question is: Have I fried some vital part of the Mac, such as the processor part (the result of starting up without it in situ was just the same as with it: Dead mac. No chime)? If I put in a new Pram-battery, do you think the Mac will wake up, or do you think the Mac is now a write-off? Peter, Oslo, Norway
