I've tried booting with every single component removed (one at a time anyway) and it still death chimes. Except the RAM. I haven't tried booting it with the RAM out. |

Yes, the battery is that dead. Won't boot with it in, as it's totally shot. Anyway, I tried that key combination (with the battery out of course) and nothing at all changed. Still makes the weird death chime. I checked the small internal battery with my volt meter and it read 4.34 volts. Is that enough? |

I have a feeling thatit's the hard drive, since it doesn't even getto the point of displaying anything and when I had the case open, it didn't vibrate or make a sound like you would expect a normalhdd to make, and everything else seems fine. I figuredit was failing a POST, could it be the hdd? |

I took a video of it with my camera phone and posted it on Google Video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4514141544723462032 I think it's a hardware issue personally but I've inspected it and found nothing wrong with it. All the parts are there and intact. Oh, I'm using a custom built Linux box here. I don't actually own any Mac besides the one that won't boot. |

Well, I can't play any of those sounds on that web page, but there is definitely nothing on the screen at all. Totally black. I'm going to try and obtain a proper mac monitor to plug into the dock to see if anything comes up there. |

Nope, nothing. Plays that tone before anything at all happens. |

I recently obtained a power book duo 230 AND two duo docks for it! I'd totally be rocking with this laptop and all the wonderful software on this site, but for one problem. I boot it up (I have to run on AC, the batteries are shot) and it goes "bong!" like it's supposed to. Then, before anything else happens, it plays a sort of unhappy sounding tone that can really only be described as a "game over" tone from an 8-bit rpg. The caps lock on the keyboard lights up, so I know parts of it are still functioning. The dock had an old disk labeled "Boot Disk System 7.5" which I assume is a Mac OS boot disk, so I could probably revive this thing if I only knew what was wrong! I'm thinking it's a hardware issue but I'm not totally sure. Any suggestions? I'm at my wits end here and would try almost anything. |
