I have inherited a Mac IIci at the school I work at. I don't know a lot
about Macs, but I do have a G3 Beige Tower at home I play with. The
IIci does not chime when I turn it on at the keyboard. The lights come
on, I can hear hard drive activity, but no chime. Should it chime?
What can I d
Your beige G3 is going to come in handy: it has a floppy disk drive :)
You can download diskimages of bootable System 6 and 7 at various
locations on the web. The IIci will boot 6.0.8 and later (on up to
early MacOS 8 if I remember correctly). Find one and use Disk Copy

To fix that, a PRAM zap will do. Hold Command, Option,
P,
and R, then hit the power button and keep holding
those
four keys until it chimes two times. (If it ever does
chime.)

This was actually one of the first things I did. No Chime has come from
this machine.

Check the archive (I think I posted it here) for
something about a "Possessed IIcx". It has something
to do with the aging power supplies in the machines
and your problem sounds like mine before something
"possessed the IIcx". I think it might be a capacitor
but I can't be sure. Give your machine s

Look for a jumper marked W1, if your IIci has the

I will have to wait until Tuesday to respond to you an Jeff with any semblance
of logic. I am not near the machine this weekend. The card just plugs directly
into the PDS header, but I can give you type and name Tuesday. Thanks to all
for the assistance on this.

Well, it looks like a video card, and it bears the marking "820-0600-A
Display card," so I would assume it is a video upgrade, and I have
looked at the card in the Cache card slot and it states that it is a
cache card.
