I suppose my introduction did leave a bit to be desired. My name is Clendon, and for those of you who don't know that is a guys name. I also happen to be a guy, so that fits together neatly. I hope that the advice of this group would not differ based on my gender however. ;-)
The rest of my description, while vague, was accurate. I had only tried to turn the StarMax on. I want to thank everyone who assumed, correctly, that this meant I had plugged it in and pressed the button that the StarMax manual assures me is the power button. The StarMax's response to this was sit there and do nothing. The power supply fan did not spin, no lights, no sounds. As I said in my original post, *any* advice is appreciated, including advice that I should give more details. I also want to thank all those who gave advice about the PRAM battery. I intend to try removing the battery entirely when I get home. I will eventualy replace it. -- Clendon > Sir or Madam or whoever you are (it would be nice to at least know your > first name as a courtesy to this group...) > > You may want to tell everyone exactly what you have already tried to turn > this on and some detail about behaviour of your starmax in the process... > > People do not know what you know or do not know about computers and > starmax.
