So I got myself a cosmetically very nice Performa 475 without a hard drive and without VRAM. It doesn't really turn on and I'd like to find out if this is a power supply problem or a faulty logic board.
When switching on the machine it clicks/pops continually from the speaker; the LEDs in the keyboard blink with the same frequency. All voltages are very low (roughly 50% of the nominal voltages). The power supply seems to work when not connected to the logic board; I'm getting +5.3V, +11.1V and -4.5V.
The power supply is a Dyna Comp model; I don't know if the Performa 475 came with other supplies as well.
My thinking is that a short on the logic board would probably only pull down one of the voltages (and not all three). Neither logic board nor power supply are recapped though both don't show signs of leakage.
Any ideas?
