My dear old IIci doesn't start up tonight. It was working fine about a month ago and I didn't do anything with it since that time. The symptoms:
1. I get the normal 'boing' sound when I turn it on. No chimes of death! 2. The screen doesn't light up. 3. The hard drive isn't spinning. 4. Inserting a startup floppy doesn't change anything; it doesn't try to read the floppy. 5. The screen lights up when I press the restart button. It's completely empty; no happy or unhappy Mac faces. And it's such a nice Vintage Mac: 32 MB's of RAM, ethernet, cache card... I never had any problem with it so far. It's probably a motherboard problem. Can anyone help me? 'Sad Macs, Bombs andother Disasters' (3rd edition 1997) has a section on hardware, but doesn't mention this problem. Any ideas? -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
