Start up problems on 2300c

[Richard Bussone]

First I want to thank everyone for helping me with the problem I had 
with the loose power connection and torn mouse pad ribbon connector I 
had a few months ago on my wife's computer.  I finally got a used 230 
duo and dock from ebay and installed a track ball today.  But, before I 
installed it I found it was not starting properly.  After I installed 
it I still could not get it to start.  It begins startup, makes noises 
like it is starting and the screen gets bright, but no apple logo comes 
on.  I tried starting with the shift key depressed, but it doesn't make 
any difference.

It has a Newer mini dock, which has always been temperamental, but it 
doesn't' matter if the dock is connected or not.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Rich
