vertical lines/checkerboard pattern

[Michael]

When I was on the list before I was having a problem with my classic II. 
It would disply vertical black and white bars across the whole screen, 
and then a checkerboard pattern. sometimes it would start to work, then 
it would play a happy sound and then a sad sound and would then just sit 
there and do nothing.

Another user mailed me about this just last week suggesting that I wash 
the logic board in warm soapy water and then allow to dry at least 
over-night. I was skeptical, but tried anyway. It worked. when I put the 
board back in the classic II and turned it on it came right up, and has 
worked perfectly ever since.  now I am upgrading the harddrive, and 
putting 7.5.3 on it...  I also discovered that the processor had some 
bent pins. i fixed that  as well.  now that I see it clean I realize how 
dirty it was before....
