Did it develop a problem powering on? The capacitors on the IIci board eventually leak corrosive on the board. The corrosive eats through nearby traces and solder. Because the leaking caps are in the vicinity of the power-on circuitry, this is the function of the computer usually affected. Mine developed this problem about seven years ago. Fortunately, there was a fellow in the news groups offering to fix IIci's and giving the above explanation and from that I was able to figure out how to fix it myself.
