I concur. Get thee a voltmeter. Also rotate the cells in the
receptacles. Sometimes there are bad
connections there..
There is a power switch on the back. Be sure it's on and exercise it
a few times to clear out the
crud.
I agree with the above and will mention that IIRC the power supply
for the Mac II and Mac IIx will also work in the IIfx. So if you
need a replacement PS, you are not limited to PSs from the IIfx.
Although, as old as that machine is, anyone who wants to keep one
running probably needs to learn the basics of power supply repair--at
least enough to replace the capacitors every decade or so.
