Classic ii, another project

So my first classic ii I bought was dead on arrival, never knew if it worked. I could never get it to work. I pulled off almost every chip, cleaned board, checked traces, nothing! So today i had another dead board come through. So I pulled the 4 ram chips off and put them on this classic ii. Bam, i now have a screen, but no mouse pointer. This is the most signs of life i ever had. Any ideas how to get to next step of mouse pointer?

She works beautifully now. I actually took 4 pieces of onboard ram off of a 660 dead board and put them on classic ii. Thats what got it going. Still shows 2 megs and then 4 megs once i put other simms back in. Yay:)
