how about the CPU? Original or was it upgraded.
It's original-- PPC 601 at 200 MHz.
Also put a PCI Video card in it. your onboard video could've died. It's rare, but it can happen.
I tried that by using a PCI card from a beige G3. No change.
So you could take the 7500 CPU daughtercard and throw it in,
I tried that, too. It didn't work.
if it's got a G3 upgrade' date=' make sure the settings around right for the CPU.[/quote']G3s have nothing to do with this machine, except that the video card I tried happened to be from a G3 Power Mac.
I'm getting a bit frustrated by this machine. Nothing I do seems to fix it.

I just tried a known working ATX power supply, and it behaves the same way as before: chime, and then nothing. About the only thing the new P/S did was make the machine quieter!

Also, I examined the board near the memory slots, and found a row of small-ish chips where I'd imagine a fourth memory slot would've gone. That must mean that there is some built in memory, which explains why it still chimes when all the slots are empty.

I think I need a new logic board (or some component lever repairs dome on the current one). I highly doubt the CPU card is at fault.

Either that, or maybe I could just sell it and be rid of it? Opinions??
