Sorry for the double post...
The cable came in (with a new hard drive 'holder'), and it looks in much better shape than the original one. Problem is that it didn't fix the problem.
Next step is...what?
I've got eyes on rather decent prices for the:
- DC in board
- Voltage regulator/PMU card
- A 400mhz G3 CPU card (which is what my Pismo should have in it)
and
- a 400mhz model logic board
When I bought the drive cable, the guy there mentioned trying to original CPU card (I don't have it). Techknight was talking that it can be a power problem, maybe DC input, or maybe the power board. I have noticed as of recently that sometimes the battery won't do a thing. It won't even say its charging a dead battery, it'll just say there isn't one there, even after pulling it out and putting it back in. And, I just saw a good picture of all sides of the logic board, and on the bottom, I think I see a Lucent chip. I think they also did drive controller chips, so...its the logic board if its the drive controller.
I've got the money to get at least the logic board and one other. 40$ board, 13$ cpu, 8$ pmu, 22$ dc-in. Any suggestions as to what to try next?
(I'm also about to pull this thing completely apart to clean it up, so putting a logic board in would be easy then.
