TOPIC

I have a Power Macintosh 7500/100 computer, and I recently installed an L2 Cache DIMM into it. However, now the computer will not start up. What could be causing this?

DISCUSSION

Apple has become aware of an issue affecting some (but not all) customers who install the Power Macintosh 256K L2 Cache DIMM (M3087LL/A) in their Power Macintosh 7500 computers. Some customers report that their computer will not start up as long as the Cache DIMM is installed. Other customers have also reported similar symptoms when using third-party cache DIMMs.

Removing the DIMM alleviates the problem, allowing the system to start up normally. Apple is currently investigating this issue and expects to have a resolution shortly. Replacing the Power Macintosh 7500 computer's logic board does not correct the situation. So, in the interim, remove the Cache DIMM and operate the Power Macintosh 7500 computer without the Cache DIMM installed.The Famous Apple!
