Hello! I recently dug some decade old projects out of storage and the first one I wanted to tackle was an IICI machine. It had obviously leaking caps on the board so I took it out and replaced all the surface mount ones. There was some trace/pad damage but I think I got everything hooked back up.
Just to confirm things were working I stuck the basics back together and tried to power on, got nothing from either the rear power switch or a keyboard. I don't have a PRAM battery installed right now. I have heard the power supplies can go bad pretty easily in these machines as well. I ordered the caps to rebuild it but after cracking it open I suspect that repair job is going to be over my head.
Anything I should try with this machine? I am leaving it plugged in for a while as I heard that sometimes is needed if there isn't a battery. Is there anyone that does power supply rebuilds for Mac II. I will admit I had a LC during their reign so I don't have a lot of experience with this line of machines.
