[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 719210, member: 24098"] What do you mean by "fire up"? There's no power to the system whatsoever? The Apple Diagnostics are not dependent on the HD or any installed software to operate. In fact, it boots right from the CD. So, as long as the machine will power up and the optical drive is in good shape, this should work. If the machine won't even turn on (i.e. no power / no display at all), then your issue is much more serious. [/QUOTE]
