Hi all!

I have a dead blue Clamshell iBook lying around that I'd like to rescue. When turned on, it chimes, and shows the question mark. Nothing wrong until now: it won't boot from a CD (I tried several generic OS 9 and OS X 10.2 CDs), nor from a FireWire drive.

I took it apart and put a new drive (with a fresh OS 9 install on it) in it, but it still won't boot. Target mode and OpenFirmware are fine, though.

No need to tell I tried all the usual resets, with no luck.

Any suggestion welcome, thanks in advance!
