All the directions I find for "reset the PRAM" are not precise on what gets held down when.
Should I be holding command-option-p-r while I press the triangle key that starts the machine, release the triangle key but keep holding the other 4?
Or is it press power key and after releasing it, press the other 4?
And is using the power button exactly the same as using the triangle key on the keyboard?
I have a power mac 8500. It booted ok last week, and would not do so this week; it powers on and chimes, but no video.
A few times it made the car crash sound.
I have reseated the CPU and RAM, given it a new PRAM battery, hit the CUDA switch. It will power up and chime, but no video.
Suggestions? Thanks much for any clues...
