Meh. I've had a dozen IIcx boxen. Five of which went south for no good reason at all. Two had soundlessness. I like my misshapen IIcx. I cut the floppy slot wider and am using a trap-door style floppy drive from a Performa 600 in it. It's nestled in a IIci case, so the video hole is covered. And I scribbled an "x" in place of the "i" on the front. It was the gracious host for two 33Mhz. Radius Rockets during test firing this afternoon. Never seen it peppier. And that spiffy Rocket Rectangle and whoosh at startup....... Uh, but back to your dilemma. I've seen the switching circuit go away disallowing a boot by electronic means. I fixed two replacing their motherboards. I'm not a solder soldier. I replace in lieu of repair. If you're convinced your power supply is AOK, then it's the mobo. Might this be an option for you? Go to eBay and contact Olde Mac Milt. He's fair and honest. He may have a mobo for you. Jeff -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
