No one would advise you to put it in the bin. Removing the logic board sounds a little a "too-much" approach. If you have a Performa, a dead pram battery could stop it from booting. There are other causes.
With local talk you get a hybrid of Apple serial cable and phone connector. The Chooser shows the connected device if all is working right. With serial cabling, I would sometimes tear my hair out until I realized I wasn't using a bi-directional cable (with arrows on the plug top pointing in two opposite directions. And remember that the phone components need phone plug terminators. Everything else is just a matter of knowing which part is working or defective by testing and switching out. Jeff G.

Not only the connection doesn't work but to start it I always need to remove the logic board and then put it back - any ideas here ? I definitely don't want to throw it in the bin just trying to find out how to have (as I can't do anything myself) it fixed CHeers M On Sep 24, 2013, at 12:46 AM, Jeff Walther <t...@prismnet.com> wrote: > >On Monday, September 23, 2013 2:31:15 PM UTC-5, Marek Drvota wrote: > >>Am I doing something wrong or skipped I some steps ? >> >> > >If you're using PhoneNet cabling, check the telephone cable between the >PhoneNet connectors.
