[rescue] Sun Ultra 5 NVram - I fear I may have smoked my machine.

[Christopher Purdy]

Morning all,

Been loving this Ultra 5 - and was in the final stages of my rebuild... had
SOlars 9 and 10 up and running and have a PGX64 card arriving today.

As such, I was anticipating the frambuffer swap and needed to do the NVram
hack to add in a battery..  Did that - and seemed easy enough.

But - after reinstalling the NVram - Nada - no openboot screen.

Figured I must have the NVram in backwards - so I swapped it around - nope,
worse - it just got hot - so I quickly changed it back..  and then I
disconnected the positive lead to the battery thinking that may have been
the issue..

Nope - black screen.

I do get a beep and the CAPS key blinks a couple of times before going
solid.

Did I smoke my machine?  Or maybe just the NVram chip?

Anyone have a spare NVram for an U5 I can get to see if I just created some
e-waste?
Thanks in advance!

- Chris
