<< Forgot I left one 840 on while I surfed for info. All of a sudden... eight
"note" set, ending with a raspberry(ish) sound... Turn off, on, and it boots. RAM? (this is the one I *didn't* take completely apart.) >> I was having similar problems with my 840AV. On a cold boot, the same unique error sound (which is in the AOL libraries as "Q840av Funky Sound") or sometimes just a click, then everything halts. After that I could force a restart from the keyboard (command-control-power) and boot normally. I could also shut down, wait a few minutes, and restart. Shifting and removing SCSI devices didn't help, nor did changing the motherboard battery, nor did putting in a new motherboard. The problem went away after swapping all the RAM with the RAM in my Centris 650. The 840 is pickier about RAM, isn't it? Eric -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
