Hello

I have a problem with a six year old LC2 which refuses to start. It has
given trouble free performance since new and this problem has presented
itself with no warning. I would value comments targeted at getting it
working again as it will be used by my children for wordprocessing and the
like.

Symptoms are:
No bong on startup
Flashing ?

Checks performed:
Machine runs normally from a startup disc but no HD is visible on the desktop
Using HDSetUp to check for the presence of a HD says no device can be found
I have opened the machine and checked all cabling connections to the HD

Spec:
The machine is an LC2 expanded to 10Mb RAM - HD is an IBM 80Mb internal
There are no other devices (other than monitor & keyboard) connected
System installed on HD is 7.0.1

I have tried all the fixes that I am aware of. My question are

Does this sound a simple (low cost) problem to fix?
Could it involve a new HD?
Does it sound like a SCSI problem and not an HD problem at all?


Many thanks
