- Did you have good ventillation on it? A fan installed? The A3640
- generates quite a bit of heat and if you had no heatsink on the 68040 and poor
- ventillation on top of that, you very well could have cooked the system to well-DONE!
- Hopefully not.......According to my service manual a green screen supposedly has to do with
- a memmory problem... But again if there was no heatsink on the 68040 and poor ventillation
- on top of that, you probably cooked it....
