I've posted here before about my MDD locking up for no reason, CPU dumps on the screen and not booting. Well, I think I have narrowed it down to the Belkin 4-port USB switch that I'm using. When I have the keyboard plugged directly into the back of the machine, it won't lock. I did this for the entire day and it worked fine. Then, before I went to bed, I plugged the keyboard back into the switch and went to bed. Note, I don't set my computer to go to sleep.

When I woke up, the machine had been locked up since 2:45AM. No screen dumps, nothing. This hadn't happened the entire time that I had been skipping my Belkin switch.

Now I have to manually swap the keyboard between that and the switch which still goes to my pc. (I do win32 coding on it that I cannot do on the mac)

Great, now it doesn't chime and won't boot.

Try hitting the CUDA reset switch. It's on the logic board near the PRAM battery.

Did that and nothing. I just got back from taking it to the Apple Store. The Genius there couldn't get it to boot up, so it'll at least be $75 to look at it. The last time they replaced my logic board and my processor, which cost me around $750. I can't afford to do that so I might as well put this in the basement and buy a G5...nice excuse eh?
