Hi,
I mainly work with x86 machines, and I don't know a lot about macs, so
I was hoping someone might have some insight into the trouble I'm
having. I recently acquired a Macintosh IIfx, which I'm trying to get
running. I plug in all the power cords, video cables, etc... then,
when I push a power button (i've tried all 3, back of case, side of
case, and keyboard) absolutely nothing happens. Not even any chime
noises. My thought is that perhaps the power supply is dead, but I'm
not sure. If it is, does anyone have one for sale or know where I
could get one?
Here's another detail that may help... it seems that the 2 power
cords that came with it are meant to be plugged
1) from the wall to the case, then
2) from the case to the monitor
when i set it up like that, both CPU and monitor are dead. But, when
the monitor has its own power cord directly from the wall, its
perfectly fine.
Thanks in advance,
Nathaniel
Check the PRAM batteries. As I recall, the IIfx had two of them. 3.6v
lithium.
