Hello. Excuse me if my answer is already read. I am French-speaking and I have a lot of pain to read the very technical informations in English. It is a testimony: My Classic II possesses two large vertical dark bars and three vertical illuminated bars. Hit starts normally after several minutes of expectation. The Macusers here gave me the solution of problem. I withdrew the motherboard. I removed the ROM. With a toothbrush, of the very hot water and especially of detergent for the dish, I cleaned my map mother under the water. Today, after several month of this washing, my Macintosh Classic II functions perfectly. Daniel -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
