Hi
I just got my hands on a very cheap Power Mac G4 Dual 1.25ghz "mirror door" with 17" cinema display.
There was no harddrive installed because the org. died.
The ram wasen't installed, but I got 4x512mb and 1x1024mb modules.
When I power on the machine, the harddrive I have put in, spins up, but there is no "startup sound" as I read there should be.
The screen is all black with no response at all (I can power on the machine through the powerbutton on the screen)
I have tried to pull out the battery in 10min, and made an PMU reset with no luck.
The battery shows 3.6v when I test it - So it should be ok?
I have tried several different RAM setups, how should I place the RAM in the slots? one in J20 and J21 ?
And where should the system disk be placed? There is several IDE ports where I can put it.
(just so I know these two things are ok)
There is a little red diode lighting right next to the RAM slots, should it be red?
Hope someone can help me, else I will have to sell the machine again (in parts)
