I just picked up a 512 from a thrift store for $15, without a keyboard
or mouse. I get it home, plug it in, and turn it on. The screen flashes
the happy mac and then goes blank. The drive looks like it's trying to
work but I can't really tell, and there's no beep. I find a paperclip
and hit the interrupt switch, and first I get the happy mac, then I get
the 0f000d code ("hey stop pressing that button there's nothing wrong").
Now, after I let go of the switch, the screen goes blank again.
Brightness isn't the problem, and the display itself clearly works fine.
Any idea what could be causing this? Is it simply the lack of
keyboard/mouse/bootdisk, or do I have to crack the case and replace some
capacitors?
Interesting Side note (for me at least): Your Mac 128 (M0001), with
serial number F445C2YM0001, was the 15656th manufactured during the 45th
week of 1984 in Fremont, CA.
Apparently this is an upgraded 128. Lucky me!
