Hi, long time lurker here. I recently recapped my classic ii motherboard and analogue board as it stopped turning on entirely. Now I can get it to power on, but it behaves very strangely.
The machine will power up, give a boot chime, then there will be a "tick" sound from the analogue board and the machine will reset, chime again, sometimes only half a chime, before resetting again. Sometimes it will chime, then immediately give the chimes of death, then reset again. And sometimes it won't even give a chime or will just go straight to the death chimes. I'm really not sure where to start with this one.
Given the tick sound, could this be a sign of a dead flyback maybe? I will admit I did the logic board recap a while ago and it was the first time ever doing smd cap replacement, and I did have to run wires in place of two pads (rest assured my skills have improved a great deal since then). So it could well be something I've done wrong. Any help is appreciated.
