Re: IIX doesn't boot, only green screen

2007-04-17 by Hans Nijhof

The machine hasn't been moved. What happened was, I booted up, page 
1 appeared, then I noticed no responce from the keypad (LED) and 
qwerty keyboard. I saw that the communication cable (which isn't the 
orignal, so without the locks) had left lose from the other 
connector. And I pushed it back in the connector. At that moment the 
screen went green and no Led's on the keypad. I tried some different 
kind of boot-ups, but no succes. Also waited a day. I haven't tried 
to load any sounds, because I thought the system wasn't responding. 
It's an idea to try this, to figure out what's still working.
