Just acquired my nice dead MDD dual 1.25... and after a few things thought I'd bounce it off the list members... Ok, here goes: Before powering up, replaced pram battery and reset PMU just for kicks. Then, after 10 minutes or so, tried to boot up. What I got was a nice startup chime, fans running at low speed, cpu heats up warm, Disk drive spins (pretty sure) but nothing on the screen.. nice and black.. then I shut down and proceeded to R&R all the modules along with a bit of cleaning. There is 1280mb of ram and I figured since I got no "beeps" at startup, the processor and ram are ok (i hope) At this point, I'm leaning towards video card or logic board. what do ya think? I might also add that tring to do a pram clear (option, control, pr) I could not get the second chime?
