To boot off the CD hold down the letter "C". Also, check the fan on the PSU, there is a thermal cutout which can stop the machine - you might have to do something imaginitive like slide the unit half way off the table and look up at the fan (it's underneath) to see if it is spinning. Also a possibility that you have static zapped something. Disconnect everything surplus just to be sure (floppy, L2 cache, external SCSI, if you're using the CD then even disconnect the HD, also remove the RAM) Do you get the normal chimes? If yes, then logic and memory is likely to be OK. Do you have a boot floppy, I made one up with a defrag utility a while ago.

I just had my power supply repaired and was firing the machine back up and all went well. I also just bought a bigger HD, and had not yet installed it so I started copying the HD of my machine to my Jazz drive so they would be backed up...well the machine appeared to be locked up, so I did a restart. using the keyboard command. Now..when the machine started to come back up...my monitor was still working, but I never saw anything..not even the little mac pic that comes up...I have tried rebooting many times, rebuilding the desktop, zapping the PRAM. The one thing I havent done is start up off the CD ROM....do you know the keyboard command to do this, as I forget..I dont know if that will work. Im confused..it was working and after a restart, no more video.. I dont even hear the HD keep spinning after the initial spinning. Please help..Dave Miller dmille9878@aol.com Thanks
