[QUOTE="cs2eye, post: 1319028, member: 220048"] hi a few days ago i posted regarding my PowerMac not having anything on the display. i replaced the video card, but no dice. after further inspection, i realized that the machine is not actually booting up properly. when i power it on using the on button, it makes the typical surge but then not much else. no chime, no hard drive spinning- well maybe a little spinning, but then it just sits there. i can not eject the CD drive, using the C or eject key. i assumed if i found the install disk i could at least boot it from there. i am hoping there is another solution to booting from the CD drive? or is that not an option? is it the HD which is bad, or the motherboard? what should be my next course of action? thanks!
