Hi everybody,
During these "forced" holidays, I decide to dig into my Mac collection, especially Mac Mac II. I have 2 Mac II, the first one appears to be original.
It won't boot but I doubt the battery are completely dead and it needs battery to start. Does it need both batteries to start or just one. What are the best replacement for those (convenient, mine are soldered). It doesn't seems to received damage from leaking battery or capacitors. Would you recommend to replace them even if they looks good ?
The second one is a Mac IIx motherboard inside a Mac II case. But they are 2 stickers underneath, one with Mac IIx, the other with Mac IIfx. As I can't boot it (battery again), I can't say. This one looks good inside but I suspect some leaks from the capacitors.
Any advice getting those running ?
