Looking for some opinions... I have a IIcx here that the battery ruined the motherboard. I acquired a replacement of unknown condition from someone for the cost of shipping. Capacitors are obviously leaking. I can get the machine to power on, fan whirs and power light lights up, but no chime or video. Sometimes, haven't nailed down a pattern yet...seems to be more right after plugging it in, when I push the power button on the back, it will come on, but only for as long as I hold down the button...let it sit a moment and try again and it seems to then power up, but again, no chime or video. It does not have a PRAM battery installed, though from what I'm reading online, it should power up OK without it. I tried it without a video card, and also with a video card I pulled out of a IIci (that also got eaten by a battery) and it does the same thing. The IIci power supply doesn't want to seat nicely...not sure if it's dead or just not making a good connection...so no definitive test to know if the power supply is good...though as I think about it, I do have a Quadra 700...I could try its power supply... Does this sound like classic motherboard capacitor issues? Or maybe something else? I don't mind replacing the caps, but I'd obviously rather not do it and find that it still won't work due to some other problem... Thanks, Wesley
