Looking the PSU, I'd tend to agree - there doesn't seem to be an "input" wire anywhere. > A dead PRAM battery won't prevent them from starting up but it will > prevent them from displaying video and booting. Does it also prevent the hard disk and fan from starting? These certainly don't do anything on this LC. > There is a simple bypass to a dead PRAM battery on most Macs so > afflicted.

I think I'll go back to assuming that the PSU was dead when I was first given the LC. As I previously mentioned, it just makes a quiet ticking noise as if something is trying and failing to start. Ah well, like the dead Sinclair Spectrum it will just have to be a "for show only" exhibit in my personal museum until a replacement PSU comes my way... Thanks for the info.
