Powerbook 1400 with bad case of GLOD
Has anyone ever solved the GLOD problem? (green light of death)
I just acquired a PB 1400 166. I got it working very well including wi-fi. Very proud of myself.
I attempted to startup from a jaz scsi drive with OS9. I admit, I don't think I terminated correctly as in double termination. It refused to boot giving 'system' or 'bus error" message. I really thought that termination was internal.
Shortly after this, the PB was unresponsive with the sleep light glowing steadily green. I have read numerous articles on the subject of GLOD and tried all sorts of resetting pmu strategies
The pram batterries are, I believe, weak -- even there is some current inside even when battery and ac adapter are out. Replacements were on order anyway. The main battery may be failing even though it puts out 9.6 v.
I am going to hurl this PB out the window if the termination thing ruined it.
HELP!
