Hello

I'm having trouble with a tadpole sparcbook, which used to behave
very well until nothing happened, but it now refuses to boot.

The beast is a SPARCbook 3gx. When i turn it on, it beepes
regularly, saying on the LCD screen 'Watchdog Reset'. I have tried it
without the hard drive and the battery, but it remains the same
behaviour. When i put a PCMCIA network card into the slot, the
leds on the adapter light up (including the 'link' one, although there
is no link), but it's again the same.

I have opened it, but nothing looks burned ou unplugged or what...

If someone has an idea of what i could do, i would take it gracefully !

Thanks, 
Greg
