[DuoList] bad comet

[britt at reactornet.net]

Did you read the link that was sent to you? Most times, the "problem"
of the 2400c not booting is from the PRAM needing to be reset. There is
a link floating around here which explains the process, but everytime
one disassembles a 2400c, the mere action of unplugging the PRAM battery
and continuing the tear-down and build-up is enough to reset the PRAM,
so that is why most "dead" 2400c's come back to life after being looked
at.

Look for that link, I dont have it handy. But unplug the AC and battery
and hold that button on the back for like 30 seconds. Do you get a solid
green light on the top, or none at all?
