First, try booting the machine with an external monitor. If that works, boot it into 9 and install the firmware patch.
No, sadly that fails. Monitor comes up, turns grey then power fails.
Alternatively, if you feel comfortable with it, disassemble the machine so that you can access the reset switch on the logic board, and press it.
Already done that. If one is crafty you can do this with a pencil etc reaching through the memory access panel...
If not, do whatever else you want to it :)
Lets get the soldering iron out... Cheers, Antony. -- ================================================================== = = = = Antony N. Lord = http://antonylord.com = = [EMAIL PROTECTED] = Perth, Western Australia = = = = ==================================================================
