Use a magnifying glass. Check the top and bottom for cracks and broken
traces on the motherboard.

I'm not sure but I think the LCII has 256k of soldered on video RAM (if
there is only one 68-pin SIMM socket it does) so it might be worth taking
that off too.
I'm pretty sure that it doesn't have anything soldered to the
mobo - it has a 512k VRAM SIMM. However, you can take this out

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.

I think those A20 and A21 jumpers have something to do with whether the
Mac's ROM is recognized or not. I vaguely recall that there was some talk
about a ROM SIMM that was planned to supplement or replace the original LC
ROM.

All Macs have internal speakers. They all chime on power up after passing
a brief self-test from ROM, before accessing any disks or even checking
RAM memory
