I have what I assume is a hardware problem, but am not sure of the cause and the viability of repair. The problem is a Classic II that won't boot. When the machine is powered on, all that shows up on the screen are alternating vertical bars, about 1" in width, so there are 4 1-inch-wide white stripes interspaced equally with black bars of the same width. There is also a noise, a variable high-pitched whine, that can best be described as the sound old-time radios would make as you tune the dial. The internal fan is on, and I can hear the HD spinning, and the keyboard lights flash on when the power switch is turned on, but otherwise appears dead. There is no startup chime, happy mac, sad mac, or other image. Anybody recognize the symptoms?
