All:
I have a 6100 that intermittently drives its display on startup. "Intermittent" means that I get display output about 1 out of every 8 times I start it up. I'm also noticing that the processor is not hitting the SCSI bus on the times when it does not display. I get a happy chime, and then nothing.
I replaced the PRAM battery, but no change. In fact, the only time I got the display working tonight was by putting in the old, dead, PRAM battery! I know that battery is dead because the 6100 loses its clock settings. Only other item of note is that the power supply in the 6100 makes a pretty good amount of moise -- far more than does a sibling 6100 I have right next to it.
Any suggestions?
