Hi,
Thanks for your other suggestions. I just looked inside my LC II.
Everything looks positively clean and nice there. Not much
dust, no leaking batteries, everything looking good.
However, in the top left corner of the case (above the processor
and next to the big white slot), in the place with all the
little chips and capacitors, there's some sort of sticky
substance on everything (just a little bit of it) and all solders
look significantly less shiny than in the other parts of the
board. Can this be the culprit?
There's a VRAM stick inserted in the slot (reinserted it),
but the two DRAM slots next to it are empty. However, on
the opposite side there are eight chips (UI2-UI9) labeled DRAM.
Is it the onboard memory or the Mac is simply memoryless now?
The video plug end from the monitor (the one you attach to
the computer) only has 6 pins -- 5 in the top row and one
in the bottom.
Next to the good-looking battery there are six pins labeled
A20 or A21... what are those for? (resetting battery?)
Tried to launch it with HDD/floppy/monitor/input devices
detached -- still no luck.
What now...?
