[QUOTE="dkg57, post: 877993, member: 109962"] Update on problem with G3. I went to microcenter today talked to an apple tech there He said as long as it chimes when it starts up the logic board is not bad He told me to buy a firewire cable and hook it up to my old iMac desktop I have to see if it would show the drive on it and it did and I was able to erase the hard drive and verify it was ok so no problems with hard drive was even able to reinstall 9.2 onto the drive with no problems.On to the next step I have to purchase an adapter to hook it up to an external monitor to see if display is bad.He seems to think that is where the problem may be. I will update this when I am able to get the adapter. [/QUOTE]
