Hi...I have a question that really has no significance, but here goes...

I was at my local Apple dealer who had a broken //gs.  When he turned
on the power it would beep and put a b&w checkerboard pattern on the
screen and then quit.  He tried it with and without the peripherals
connected.  He told me he sent it in for repairs and they replaced
the motherboard, but when he got it back he had the same problem.
He ended up exchanging it for another one.  Anyone care to guess what
was wrong with it?
