I've now installed a retail copy of 7.5 but it does the same thing. Very oddly, when I was running 7.0.1 "About This Macintosh" said its was a IIci. Now it only says "Macintosh" with the generic Picasso icon. I zapped PRAM but no change. I imagine if it doesn't know what kind of Macintosh it is it can't effectively now how to handle a Shut Down. > Press and hold should power it off, for up to 5 seconds. I am not able to power the computer off this way, but this is one where you can latch the power button in so that it restarts on shutdown so I'm not sure if that functionality works on the IIci. ---- On Feb 3, 2014, at 11:13 AM, Geoffrey Oltmans <[email protected]> wrote: > I have similar issues with my IIci.

This is quite similar to how mine behaved before I recapped it, though mine was at a point where it wouldn't power up no matter what you did. ---- On Feb 3, 2014, at 5:54 PM, Dylan McDermond <[email protected]> wrote: > In addition to bad caps, be sure you are carefully inspecting the logic board > for any bad traces that may have been eaten away or blackened by the leaking > electrolyte. I'm going to check this better tomorrow. I have done point-to-point checks on most of the IC pins (UB13, UD13, and UE13) and I haven't found anything amiss. ---- In addition, I have noticed a new issue. The power key on the keyboard does nothing within the OS. Apple-Control-Power does not restart the machine, Apple-Power does not interrupt, and the power key by itself does not bring up the shutdown dialog box. A friend suggested the IIci, being an early ADB Mac, may not have the interrupts for this stuff in place, and I can't remember if they used to work or not. Also, off topic, I apologize if "merging" the replies as I've done here is frowned upon or bothersome. If so, someone let me know and I'll stop. :-) Its been a long time since I've been active on mailing lists or Usenet and I can't remember what the convention is.
