Yesterday I've received my first Mac ever, which is an LC II (a complete set with mouse and keyboard). Despite the owner saying it was doing fine last time he check it, the computer was DOA -- I can turn it on, I see the monitor working (I can change brightness etc.), hard disk (I think) waking up, but then it just sits there without doing anything.
It ate my floppy disk which I put there to test, but I don't think it ever gets to the point of even checking the drive.
Most stuff I know about Macs is highly theoretical, so I'd be very grateful if you could tell me what I can do to locate what's wrong, and then maybe to repair it. Thanks in advance!
Try turning it on, waiting for everything to spinb up and settle down then turning it off and on quickly (off - 1 sec pause - on). This is usually the cure for an LC with a dead PRAM battery.
