    First post, snagged an S900 in great cosmetic shape, but with problems

    I'm prone to believe this is a software issue if booting w/o extensions works. I'm waiting on a new battery that will be here in a few days among other things.

    Not really. What cards can I use? Would just a generic pci video card work? Also, isn't it an indication that this is a software thing if it works when I zap the PRam and boot with extensions off?

    The LCD is where it is giving the issue. However, I had it set to 1280x1024 and that was what it was set to when it actually worked. I have removed all the extensions and the control panels and this still happens. When I boot with SHIFT held down, it comes up. After removing all the...

    I've tried removing all the extensions and zapping the P-RAM and I am able to get it to boot when I do that, but there's no extensions. I moved all the extensions to another folder, and it now does the exact same thing, it will boot, and I get the happy mac, but then it immediately stops...

    Ok, here's my problem. The unit starts up, but sometimes won't output video. The screen just throws a warning that it's not the right resolution. That being said, if I let it sit there, it eventually works but only some of the time. Sometimes on startup, it'll start and load the extensions...

    It lives. Thanks to trag's advice I have a working mac. Now the problem I am running into is that the video is kind of whonky. Trying to get to the bottom of that now.

    I'm having some trouble finding a PSU that provides -5v. What do I do about that?

    Here's three images. The last is of the PSU connections. Those can be converted to ATX?

    It looks like I only have three Mobo connectors. One longer one, single pin row. The next is shorter, then there's the three pin you mentioned. I checked the board, but I don't see any leaky caps on there. The PSU doesn't look as though there's a power switch on it, only a toggle between 115...

    Hello everybody. This is my first post here. Today at an estate sale, on a shelf in a garage was an original S900 box. I figured it to be empty but it looks like there's a unit, dusty but otherwise in great shape on the outside. They wanted a whopping $15 for it. Anyway, I got it home...
