[DuoList] Dead 2400

[Josh Keady]

What usually brings my 2400 out of GLOD "stasis" is take the battery  
out and remove AC power.  Hold the rear power button in for a minute  
or more.  Apply AC power (battery still out), and hit the keyboard  
power button.  Mine usually fires right up.

When my old 2400c bit the dust, I would have to leave the thing  
unplugged and without battery at least over night.  Then the next  
day, it would usually at least power up, but would crash during boot,  
after a few minutes of use, or immediately upon waking from sleep.   
It wouldn't reboot after that.

If you DO get it fired up after a GLOD situation, I would recommend  
the ol' Command-Option-P-R salute in order to hopefully dump any  
corrupt information in the PRAM chip.

Kyleen is right though, don't give up on it!  Even though my first  
2400 eventually up and died, I bought a G3-equipped one from a list  
member, used the best parts of the two, and built a really sweet  
little 2400 that I use all the time.
