[QUOTE="JorWesFlow, post: 712091, member: 64681"] [b]Black screen on boot, no boot chime, fan overdrives, no response[/b] I tried some things on my own: Tried to reset the parameter RAM, but didn't make a difference. I also tried booting to Open Firmware to reset the PRAM that way, but still can't even get to Open Firmware. I keep getting the same result... black screen on start up, no boot chime, fan overdrives, no response I also: * Tried reseating RAM: same result (black screen on start up, no boot chime, fan overdrives, no response) * Tried starting up without RAM: no RAM tone indicator * Tried disconnecting the battery and power source and hitting power button to discharge everything, then replaced everything: same result (black screen on start up, no boot chime, fan overdrives, no response) Any other suggestions? I'll try them all before I buy a new logic board--if I even go that far... [/QUOTE]
