Hello all,
I have a powerbook 2400/240c (400mhz g3 upgrade, dunno if this is important) that will not read from a hard drive.
When i first got it, it was able to fine, i install mac os 9, attempted to get 10.1 installed, but ended up needing to remove the hard drive to flash, so i just shelved it.
I got the interest to get it running 10.1 again, booted it up and got a flashing floppy.
It had a tiny leak from the pram battery when i first got it, but i wash all my boards in the dish washer (surpsringly good) and then soak in ipa, so unlikely that did it plus it worked prior.
I tried multiple different drives, reformatted the ssd i had in it, didnt work, tried ankther ssd, same thing, threw the original hard drive back in, and it would spin but not seek, then i tried a 60gb random one same thing.
I really dunno what could be the issue, atp all i can think is the ide controller died, so im planning on removing that, the only issue is idrk where the ide controller is...
