Again having problems with that Ti :-/
On power up, it invariably shows the question mark. It also makes a strange noise like
Weeeeezzzzz ..... Weeeeeezzzz
not very loud. To make it see the drive I have to zap Pram 5 to 6 times, then the weeezz goes , and I can hear the hd starting ( krrr krrr krrr noises, please note my talent for PowerBook imitation ).
Also , if I put it to sleep for more than say an hour, the drive won't run, I mean the system runs, but if I try to access the disk from the icon on the desktop, I get the beach ball forever, and no hd noise...
The crazy thing is I've swapped mainboard twice ( both ok, tested on another machine, but I want to have this one working cause it's mint externally... ), changed the hd, changed the power card . So I don't know what the problem could be... Guess I will end up taking the all guts of the other (no good looking) working one to put it in there...
could it be the Pram battery ? Any ideas ?
