[QUOTE="chscag, post: 913554, member: 46727"] Buying a used machine, especially an older one off eBay is a like a trip to Las Vegas. Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes not. I guess you could have disturbed something in the machine so that it came loose when you banged the desk, but it also may be coincidental. Or it could have been jury rigged by the seller so that it worked. (Let's hope not.) Are you handy with taking things apart? If you are, disassemble the machine and look to see if you can find anything that perhaps came loose. Also take note of the PRAM battery. Maybe one of these Apple manuals can help: [URL="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50018"]Link[/URL] Regards. [/QUOTE]
