	I had the same problem on my //c, it would come and go (and
always go when I tried to show the repair man ;-) In the end I couldn't find
the problem they couldn't find the problem and I had to pay $140 for a
new mother board.

	I've seen to other problems in //c's, you'll love these...

	How about a //c that won't boot with something plugged in port
two, if you take it out it boots, put it back in and all is fine...

	Or mine which every once and a while goes mad, when turned on
it won't start the drive and starts spitting garbage out on the text
screen, plus it ignors ctrl-reset and open-apple-ctrl-reset.  What
fun, what fun...
