macabo is on a distinguished road
Thanks for the reply, but I have tried to change the battery.

I got this Quicksilver from a firm who wanted to throw it away.
They said that it was dead (Power-button only lights when pressed).
They took the battery out, and donated it to me.
I started it up, (without battery). It started perfectly in OS 9.2.2.
I changed startdisk to OSX, then restarted.
And now I get a grey screen with a "broken folder".

Restart - opt+apple+shift+del = Blinking between "smilemac" and "?", then broken folder.

Restart - opt = It shows OSX drive. I can press "refresh" (does nothing) and "forward" (gives "broken folder" when pressed).

All the above is WITHOUT the battery. If I but that in, (one from my G4 400Mhz, that works!!) then itīs back to: (Power-button only lights when pressed).
It is just so wierd.
Sorry if I was unclear before.

Macabo.
