>>In my experience, the components that most often have gradual failures are capacitors.<<
True, usually the electrolytics. But without a schematic, they're impossible to track down. The power on circuitry is partly under the PS, and then wanders over to the other side of the board with many zigs and zags, to the bottom of the board, and up to the top again,to the bottom of the board, and up to the top again. Gamba has a IIci power-on schematic (macIIcisch.GIF) on his site, but it doesn't help much with the cx--different parts locations, part numbers, and what-all. Just pulled the cx, and it still won't power up. BTW, I've tried these without an ADB cable, with different ADB cables, with different KB's, PS's, mice, and etc. Donn -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
