>> I installed an OpalVision board in a 2000 and the same thing happened, no boot but the HDD spins up to speed.<< PMJI, but the harddisk gets it's power straight from the powersupply, doesn't it? If this is true, you could blow up your complete mainboard (without the powersup ofcourse) and still got a working ('spinnig') HD. I'm not trying to make you all depressed, but what I want to say is that these two comparisons with your cases don't give it the same reason. Good luck in finding the solution! I guess suggesting a blown up CIA would be too simple? You can blow these things up very easy. The symptoms can be almost anything too, depending on the area damaged in the chip. Maybe you should try to switch both CIA's and see what happens. (BTW: I don't even know how the CIA-stuff looks in a 4000, I have a 2000 which had the same symptoms. I'm just suggesting something!) -MaRiO- -= Intel inside! (…my washing machine) =- Confucius say: "A bird in hand makes it hard to blow nose"
