[QUOTE="juan, post: 1172827, member: 185574"] It was in it's own box on a safe place in my home office. I bought it for a project that did not materialize and now that I bought a new HT system I wanted to use it as a HTPC. I took off one of the memory modules and it was the same, I swapped the other and the light went steady, but it still didn't chime or output any video. I'm sending it to a tech here (I'm outside the US) to get it checked and so he can try known good memory to see if it would work or if I should make an iToilet ( [url=http://www.bit-tech.net/news/modding/2005/06/10/itoilet_mod/1]Unofficial iToilet mod | bit-tech.net[/url] ) out of it :( I measured the PRAM battery with a Fluke volt meter, hardly a metering gadget. :( I replaced the battery anyhow to no avail. Can't do the same for the memory as the memory here is hard to find and we sadly don't have the generous return policies that you have in the US. [/QUOTE]
