I recently received a Macintosh Classic and Classic II from a fellow in San Antonio. While both were working before they were shipped the Classic II will not boot properly; there’s no startup chime and there are vertical stripes on the display.
To diagnose this symptom and plan a fix I found the following resources helpful:
- Cracking Open the Apple Macintosh Classic
- Macintosh Classic/Classic II/Performa 200 Service Manual (115 page PDF)
I plan to replace the “power/sweep board” and have one on order that I found on ebay. With luck that will resolve the problem and the Classic II will be healthy again! I’ll keep you posted.
