My old Starmax, which now belongs to my nephew & nieces, is experiencing some startup problems. About half the time, the system will start but it will not boot. I have confirmed that the hard drive is good. It is not exhibiting the signs of a bad motherboard battery (date & time are not resetting). The screen on the monitor comes up but the smiling apple does not show. This is about 1/3 of the time it is started. I usually have to do a hard shut down, then unplug and re-plug in the computer to get it to boot.
I told my sister just to leave the system running, but we all know that System 9 needs to be restated every so often. Any suggestions appreciated.
