Help ! my next has died.
Here are the symptoms: On the power on self test it tests everything up
untill sound out then hangs. No matter how long I leave it it just sits
there.  I took the battery out and left it overnight to erase the pram
settings, this didn't help :-(  Can anyone help me with a possible
solution.  Could someone at NexT respond to this and let me know how I
can go about getting it fixed (eg can I send it back to NeXT in the
states for a replacement cpu board etc )  You see I live in Australia
which makes things a little more difficult.  It was my fault that it
happened... I was moving the monitor, I went to plug the display cable
back into the rear of the monitor and a spark jumped across the
connector and the hard disk started to power up.  This has happened
before but nothing was damaged previously.
Please, Please Help.. I don't know what to do  !

Thanks in advance
