Hey 68k/PPC experts, I need a "next thing to check out" point in the right direction...
Bought a parts Pismo to add to my fleet. It was missing the HD, processor guard and CD. Since I have many other Pismos, I thought I might be able to get this one going again and only have to pop for a new processor guard.
I swapped a used 6GB hard drive in (I am not sure 100% if this one is working), swapped 400 mhz cards to a known working one, installed RAM and disconnected the backup battery.
I get a startup chime and then it comes up to a white screen only.
Does that indicate some type of main board fault? What can I try next to try and isolate the problem? Swap in a different hard drive, or try to boot from a 10.4 OS disk in the CD drive?
I have tried the power reset using the back button too. No change. I also tried reconnecting the PRAM battery. No change.
WWYD?
