take a breather and google up some doc's

meantime I had a 8500 that was a nasty thing to get started, but once it did it was fine

after you read up abit on how its pieced together wiggle everything thats in a socket, if dirty clean

on my 8500 the cuda button was beside the cpu slot but under the heat sink, press and hold

other than repeating the process over and over again would anyone guess my 8500 still worked

last time I got it started, it took a evening of me fiddling with it before I got the broken glass sound

then another evening before it chimed

Months later gave it to a fellow member still working fine, but dont let it sit in the closet for a few months (even with a good battery)

(ps its not really necessary when its the 1 post above you)
