Hi, A working Classic II logic board is next to impossible to find. They suffer of the same problem than the SE/30 one's: failing SMD capacitors. I'm looking for one myself for a long time. Those offered on Ebay are almost always dead and beyond repair.
Given the logic board you have is already burned, replacing all the SMD capacitors won't likely solve the problem. You need a logic board with still a bit of life in it and them immediately replace the capacitors. You also mention no power and no HDD spin-up: these are unrelated to the logic board as the CRT and HDD are powered directly from the Analog board. So I guess your Classic II has multiple problems... A good start is testing all the capacitors with an ESR meter.

First day it worked fine, but since then it's been having issues. At first it was just stone dead, no power at all, then I replaced the main power cap on the analogue board, and now it powers up, but is showing the "simasiMac" symptoms. Long delay before startup bong, unexpected rebooting, no HDD spin up, etc. Checking the logic board reveals that whoever owned it before me tried to repair the thing by replacing the caps, but has messed up the PCB majorly in the process. Lifted tracks, burnt PCB, just a mess. I don't have any hope of reviving this board. -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
