This was actually one of the first things I did. No Chime has come
from this machine.
Just to give an update. All the cables are connected properly and
securely. All chips are like-wise. I have checked the battery, and
it shows 3.617 volts, DC. I have zapped the PRAM, and I have removed
the two daughter cards from the logic board, zapped the PRAM, and
still no chime, no start. Does anyone have an idea of where I should
go next, before I download a system image on my G-3 and reinstall the
system? Or should that simply be my next move? Thanks, Dennis
the chimes are generated after the first hardware check and are not
controlled by software on these machines. did you plug in headphones to
check if the phones-socket is ok?
i suspect the capacitors. i have a portable waiting to receive new ones
because of a power-failure and distorted sound. look around the
capacitors for leakage of any sort.
