Yes, I've pulled every board in the computer (it had a SuperSonic card and a GS RAM card in it in addition to the HD controller). I disconnected the floppy drives, too... Still no soap. My modem has a 'terminal ready' indicator, that I've configured to insure that the modem is only "terminal ready" when the IIgs is powered up and the serial port enabled. This light DOES go on when I flick the switch on the IIgs, so way down deep inside there, some faint flicker of life still exists.... I fear there's no hope for this motherboard, considering the symptoms. I am assuming it isn't the power supply, because I do get _something_ on the screen and the modem terminal ready goes high. Is there any other hope, or am I correct in guessing that the only thing left is the motherboard itself?? SAY IT ISN'T SO! :rubs his empty wallet, wondering how he'll pay for a new one.
