Hi Will S. Thanks for your feedback. The Mac OS install disk is an OS9.1 disk. And I am able to eject it while the computer is on. I removed the battery, unplugged the power cord from the computer and let it sit for 24 hours and have pressed the cuda button for a long while before attempting to power up again. I have held the key combination down for the PRAM Zap for 10 minutes starting up from the computer having been off but the chimes will not repeat. I never smelled smoke at any time. I've tried booting w/ a startup disk in the floppy drive but still no video. I've even disconnected the internal SCSI but it made no difference. I have tried everything suggested on the list. And I am very appreciative of all the responses but still no video.

Was the machine unplugged from the wall plug?...pram zap should also work but needs to be done from off not a restart for "Black screen of death"...Unless the motherboard is physically damaged or you smell smoke it's likely fine. If it's not an OSX cd in the drive well we may have to re-think this. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
