Hi doh, welcome to CTH :)

Let's just check we're both on the same wavelength here.

Are you trying to start up from the HD or from a MacOS CD?

Start screen and no further sounds like an extensions problem, so try booting up and holding down shift to turn the extensions off and see if it boots up.

i have tryed turning off ext
but it never gets that far it wont start up from the disk or cd all of my connections are good i just have no clue

[Steven.Bentley]

When you say you altered the jumpers is this for the CD or Hard drive? Are we talking SCSI or IDE?

[doh]

i tryed moving jumpers from my scsi disk they were on #6 scsi term on and id bit 2 also when i start it up now it does not make the start up sound it used to?????? maybe my board is fried????

#1) Zap the PRAM. Hold down command + option + P + R on boot... if it chimes, let it chime 4 times then let go of the keys..... see if you get anything.

[doh]

i will try zap the pram but i dont think it will work if you have any other ideas please let me know

Any luck, doh?
