If one paper gasket doesn't do it, doubling up should be just fine. Either that, or wait for Powerlogix to create a super-special $9.99 o-ring insert :) AJM From riba at ml1.net Thu Apr 3 14:11:10 2008 From: riba at ml1.net (Riba) Date: Thu Apr 3 14:11:24 2008 Subject: [Cube] Power button gasket In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <6CEC7368-75A7-483B-9BA1-BD8019EA6C41@ml1.net> On 2008.04.03, at 02:50, phoenix wrote: >> In a message dated 4/2/08 4:44:37 PM, riba@ml1.net writes: >> >> Does anyone have a spare power button gasket?

I thought the HD needed to be the Master on the IDE chain and the CD/DVD needs to be the slave? Although, I think if you had them mis-wired, you'd get a picture with the Mac with the blinking question mark on it (as it can't find an OS to boot from). -- -Chris From ronsteinke at mac.com Fri Apr 4 20:29:02 2008 From: ronsteinke at mac.com (Ronald Steinke) Date: Fri Apr 4 20:31:26 2008 Subject: [Cube] Fwd: repost: monitor does not turn on In-Reply-To: References: <733E447F-E87B-4ED8-8352-9D20DEBCA8C2@prtc.net> <93F13EBD-71DA-4406-85F6-1BC07F3E0BE7@prtc.net> Message-ID: <4AE68534-1B9A-4A3B-B47D-D1242D1DCD0D@mac.com> On 3 Apr, 2008, at 4:39 PM, Chris Weiss wrote: > You set the HD to be the slave?

The trick is to identify each device separately. One has to be the Master and the other to be the Slave. It doesn't really matter which is identified as which, just as long as they are different. If you have two devices (hard drive, cd drive, zip drive, etc) on the same ribbon with the same identification, you will get a conflict and failure to properly startup. The only way to avoid this identity problem is to separately identify each device or to use Cable Select when available. Warning: Some older machines will not accept Cable Select as the identification choice and Master/Slave must be used on them.
