Subject: Dead Mac II Logic Board?
Hi All,
I just got a logic board for a Mac II (thanks Lincoln!), but when I
fire it up, I get the dreaded death chime. The board is really clean,
I can't find a trace of dirt or leakage anywhere. I wouldn't be
surprised in the least if the PRAM batteries are dead, would this
cause the problem? I was under the assumption that the computer
wouldn't even power on with dead batteries.
I will research this on my own later, but this brings up another
question: where do I get the batteries with the solder leads on them?
I don't know if the batteries would cause the symptoms you have.
However, to answer your question, Frys sells the batteries with the
leads on the end. If you don't have a local Frys, there are
probably other sources, but I'm not familiar with them.
Oh, Outpost.com is Frys' on-line outlet, so you might check them for
the batteries. They're likely to stock anything that Frys does, I
think.
