A friend gave me an Apple IIc that hasn't been used in decades. It worked when it was last used. It was dusty but appeared in good condition. He no longer had the power supply, mouse, or any of the disks. So I ordered a power supply online (yikes the originals are pricey!). I got the PSU and connected it up and powered on the IIc, but I get no beep and no disk drive seek sounds, just a green power LED and silence...
I tried connecting a VGA monitor to the DB15 connector on the back, but either the IIc isn't sending any signal or my monitor couldn't understand it. I'll try connecting composite video later - I have to dig out another monitor for that.
My questions are: considering the no beep and no drive seek at boot, do you think this IIc is worth repairing?
What are some common causes for no beep and no drive seek at boot?
I honestly don't know anything about Apple IIc's and if I were to get it running, it would just be to sell it and give my friend some cash. He was nice enough to give me a LOT of classic Mac stuff (more than just this IIc), I'd like to give a little back to him.
Thanks in advance,
Tom
