Ok, so now I'm concerned.
I'd suggest that in all likelihood Antony doesn't need to resolder the
machine, get a new motherboard, or even wave rubber chickens around.
First, try booting the machine with an external monitor. If that
works, boot it into 9 and install the firmware patch.
Problem is the computer will not boot. At all.
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. It's a small circular rubber button inside o square
housing. A picture of a similar reset button on a different model of
machine is located at
Believe me, it has no effect at all on this problem.
BTW - Anthony tells me that the worst thing you can do is to reset the
PRAM. Of course, this is what many of us do first...
