Re: PowerBook Wallstreet Broken Glass Sound @ Startup
Mikael, Bruce, Ken, Laurent, Thank you all for your responses! I'm looking around for a Processor Logic Board replacement as we speak since replacing the RAM seemed to have no effect on the quirkiness of the machine. Since this RAM is new and known-good, I'm going to assume at this point the processor card is hosed. For anyone who read my long post previously, the machine has seen better days! :) Thanks!

I have a wallstreet processor card if you want to try them. 233 no cache. On Jun 11, 2004, at 5:53 AM, Christopher Kolp wrote: Mikael, Bruce, Ken, Laurent, Thank you all for your responses!

PowerBook Wallstreet Broken Glass Sound @ Startup
Does anyone have the specifics on the broken glass sound at startup? This is on a Wallstreet II. The most I've found off google.com is speculation and that it's caused by a hardware problem. Is there a more specific problem that causes this? Like bad memory? -Chris -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Like bad memory? -Chris - Here is my understanding of that sound: Startup RAM failure occurs (breaking glass sound after startup chord) 1 Remove top RAM SO DIMM (if present) and restart computer. If startup sequence is normal, replace RAM SO DIMM and retest. 2 Replace bottom RAM SO DIMM and retest. 3 Replace microprocessor board. 4 Replace I/O logic board. Hope this helps.
