New PB 100 Owner w/Problems (The PB, That Is...)
Well, I figured that now would be a good time to resubscribe to this list (hello again) since I've been gifted with two Powerbooks in two days (a 5300 and a 100), plus a pre-existing 540c, a Portable (needs work) and iBook (in the works). Today's question concerns my PB100. From what I've been told, this machine has sat for some time unused. After replacing the PRAM batteries, I tried to fire the thing up. There was a chime, and the screen lit up... dark blue, with a lighter glow on the left. There was harddrive noise, so obviously an attempt was being made to boot. After I reset the machine (both reset and interupt switches), I get a micro-second glimpse of a bright, normal screen on restart. I've tried several different ways to reset the PMU, but so far, it's always the same result - the blue screen of... yawn. Any thoughts?
