If you have not already recapped the analog board/power supply that would definitely be your issue. I would also check the solder joints and reflow all the pins that have a connector cable that plug into.
Since you have it open might as well clean and re-lubricate the 400k floppy drive.

Progress today. I have a steady green light.
Previously I wasn't getting 24v anywhere on the printer. I 68kmla member Joe Ventura provided me with a replacement AC Power Block and I purchased a replacement DC Power Supply and the printer finally woke up.
On startup the printer attempted to...
Unsure where you are located, but Amiga of Rochester (NY) does great work and specializes in recapping and repairing vintage boards.
The price you were quoted will be just the recap, not for any unseen issues. Since you haven't opened it up yourself there may be other problems, including PRAM...
I installed the Top Cover Interlock switch today on the DC Power Supply and I am still missing the 24v power circuit. Tomorrow I will install a new Triac on the AC Power block. I am reading good steady 80 ohms. On my other AC Power block I was getting random readings.
Thankfully parts are...
Thanks for the suggestions. I have replaced the AC Power block and recapped the daughter board with the green 22uf leaky capacitor. I have also recapped the DC Power Supply, the High Voltage power supply, The DC Controller PCA and the IIg Controller Board.
I was able to get the two red lights...
Wowza! I have two battery bombed boards and would love to try transferring my good parts onto a recreation board. I was never able to get past the Death Chime on them. I'm guessing internal layers were damaged near RAM bank A from a combination of battery and capacitor vomit.
Incredible work.
Last year I bought a Mac II and the owner gave me a LaserWriter IINT that had been sitting for decades in his basement. It's very clean, just dusty.
I bought a LaserWriter IIg controller board and recapped it and installed it in the printer. At first I got a no paper flashing light with the...
I have two PM7100's one with the G3 card and one without. Both of them has this same issue of no chime, no video on three motherboards. This last occurrence happened when I upgraded the RAM. I replaced the old RAM and still nothing.
My workshop is in my basement so not much chance of static...
The PM7100 is a huge pain to work on. I have three PM7100 boards all with the same issue - no chime, no video. This one has a Sonnet G3 card, but I remove it to add the standard video card.
Yesterday on my working PM7100 it booted fine before shutdown and added new 32mb RAM to bring it to...
I bought a couple of these sets for my Mac IIx a year ago. They are great, but I would place some solder onto the pads to give them some extra thickness to connect to the socket. I wasn't able to boot until someone suggested the soldering trick. It's just that the PCB's are thinner than the...
