No leaky capacitors; I also swabbed the motherboard with cotton swabs doused in isopropyl alcohol while I was at it. No luck! I didn't have a PC speaker to try out, but I'm guessing the problem is with the speaker. I understand this machine was stored outdoors for a while, so it may have gotten wet at some point. Aside from the usual dust, the interior was quite clean, but aren't the speaker cones just paper? Even getting a little wet would be bad for their health, if so. > If you can get a schematic for your IBM, it may have a spot to connect the > plug from the HD light.
