Ok I have asked at the lisa list but I will also ask here (68kmla has always been so helpful) so if you are part of the lisa list I am sorry you have to read this twice. I have been working on a lisa 2/5 I have had for a while as a
hobby. I have not touched it in a while and lately I have been in the
mood to repair it. The condition it is in now is a whole lot better
then it was when I found it. When the power button is pressed it
lights up, so does the disk drive light. I also can hear a High pitch
sound from the power supply, (could be the high voltage circuit for
the screen I suppose). No video on screen but does seem to display
short lines on screen in several rows, kind of like

and they are moving upward. I have looked in as many documents as I
could find to pinpoint this and have not done so. today when I was
looking I noticed that there were some capacitors that looked like
they were cut from the I/O. I know some are left off on purpose but
these could have been taken out by the person that owned it before me
(an artsy type that tore apart computers by the look of it so it would
not be surprising) I also have no Hard drive for is or keyboard/
mouse, and I do not know if that will effect it's ability to display.
(I would not be surprised if I knew at one time and forgot I have put
this project off for a while)
