Check the video jack on the logic board on that computer. I have repaired numerous Apple computers that have had broken video jacks. When someone removes the video plug they often twist the plug while removing it. It is simple to repair by soldering a wire between the 2 broken parts of the jack.

A pocket calculator with a glandular problem. > Correct. My formerly original ][ (yes, the PO upgraded the ROMs on it - is #A2S1-001421) has a power supply from a later ][+ in it, which happens to be identical to the one in my //e. Speaking of early ]['s and ][+'s, I have an odd problem with mine. It boots up just fine, but with the Color Monitor //e that I have for both my now ][+ and my //e, the video is very fuzzy in 40 column mode, but fine in 80 column mode, using the AE Viewmaster 80 card that I have in it. If the card isn't connected and I have the monitor connected directly to the video out jack, there is no video. As it is, I currently have the ][+ stored on a shelf in my closet, whereas the //e is on display. Would be nice to be able to move the ][+ down to the dresser and be able to use it whenever I want. Anyhow, here are the configurations of both machines: Apple ][+: 64KB, joystick, two disk ][ drives, KSS, Videx Keyboard Enhancer encoder board, parallel printer interface (Micro II bufferboard, IIRC), SuperSerial II, Viewmaster 80. Apple //e: 512KB RWII, Sider/XEBEC version C HD controller, Hayes Micromodem II, two disk ][ drives, enhancement kit, early white letter keyboard, Grappler+, AppleMouse //e with card, SuperSerial II, Unidisk 3.5 drive (needs the matching card), KSS, and a Color Monitor //e. -John Resident Apple ][/Mac nut of Duvall, WA, USA. -- Apple2list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Apple2list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/apple2.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/apple2list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com -- Apple2list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Apple2list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/apple2.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/apple2list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
