Hi all,

I have a 233mhz Wallstreet that I was given a while back because it didn't work, so I figured I'd mess with it. Here's the situation...

1. As soon as you plug it in, the green light comes on, the fan comes on full force, and it stays that way forever.

2. I know the hard drive is good, I pulled it from another working Wallstreet.

3. When I do a reset (fn+control+shift+power), it turns off and stays off, pushing the power button does nothing.


I also know the RAM is okay, again, out of a working Wallstreet. So, do you think it's the logic board? Power card? I've had it all apart, I don't see any burnt marks or anything to signify a major catastrophe. Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Tom

If Pram battery is dead, it won't start-up

You say the green light turns on, but the AC board are known to fail in this model. Does the round plug jiggle in any way, indicating that the surface mount solder points have come loose?

No, actually it fits quite tightly. It requires some effort to remove it.
