Thinking I may have bent one of the Eurocard connector pins, I opened it up. What I found was a few gnarly dust bunnies smashed inside the connector. There was no metal in the area that I could see. After doing a thorough vacuuming job, I got the machine to boot. Are dust bunnies electrically conductive in ANY way? -- Todd Day | todd@ivucsb.sba.ca.us | ivucsb!todd@anise.acc.com "All theory, no practice. That's the story of my life."
