- first i would like to thank Robert Owen Raine...you have been a great
- help with your very thorough startup info, and ways to solve things...
-
- but here we go...
-
- i have now made it beyond the grey screens, and have hit a yello, and
- sometimes a red one....sometimes, like right now, it will still hang on
- the grey screens, all the while the disk drive light just stays on...
-
- when i try a warm boot, the caps lock key flashes once, and nothing that
- i can tell happens with the computer....
-
- also, when booting, i hear the boot drive doing something, but the hard
- disk light on the front panel does not light up...
-
- sometimes, the power led flashes alot...not 9 short 1 long...but just
- alot of shorts...and then the screen quickly jumps to black....
-
- sometimes, and this is the most common...the screen stays black...i can
- tell that it does something, for it refreshes once...but it stays black...
-
- what my question is...does anyone out there have the foggiest idea what
- is wrong...is it the roms???? should a hold a funeral?? or should i
- keep trying cpr??
-
- I have no ideas.....i will try to get the 3.1 upgrade with roms and see
- if it helps any...thats all...
-
- now here is another thing...i think i know what set this off...i have
- parnet installed, and while i was gone, my brother attached the printer
- to the parnets aquired parrallel port....i know that the parnet
- completely reconfigures everything about the par port...so could this
- have nuked my computer????
-
- its even more suspicous that this first showed up when they tried to
- print something...this was the first time the computer hanged, and never
- booted again...i.e there is a direct connection betweeen my boot probs,
- and the printer stuff....
-
- thanks...
