One of thge 64K chips on eith the motherboard or 64K card is bad. Boot the machine while holding both the open Apple and closed Apple key down. If the system is enhanced, which it sounds like it might be, the system will begin a self test. If a you get: RAM: 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 etc.... You have a memory problem. Pull the 64K card and try to boot. If you don't succeed in booting you're memory problem lies on the motherboard. Hopefully the 8 64K chips on the from or right side of the motherboard are socket mounted and can be individually replaced. If not, you could have a serious repair bill. The chips are NOT surfaced mounted, pick up a couple of 64K drams at a local computer store (they should be real cheap - if you can find them) and do the memory shuffle (replace a chip - boot computer - replace a chip - boot computer) until you locate the problem chips. If you're intelligentenought, the above error message tells you which chip is bad (denoted by the 1.) I forget which chips the numbers correspond to. _____________________________________________________________________________ | | | | Drew Rudman | 9600 HST Call 60 megs | | drewr@hpiosa.corp.hp.com or | THE CHARGE | | drudman@hpcc01.corp.hp.com | IBM/Apple 24 hrs/day | | Axe Slinger (#1)@The Charge | (415) 321-4713 - Menlo Park, CA | |______________________________|______________________________________________|
