Yup. It won't start. However, if I eject the CD while the bios is browsing, then the system came up. The ethernet port was disconnected, and I soft rebooted successfully. This is odd. Is it really the connectors? Why doesn't the bios display on the screen, if the error is the disk connector?
Maybe I should turn it off and see what happens later today. It would be nice to know if the CD trick was non-intermittant.
