Hello, I recently acquired a PowerBook 140, but it has some issues. Other than having some case damage due to brittle and aged plastics, it shows minimal signs of life. The display partially works, although it is in need of a recap; the image is corrupted. I'm not sure if that due to a logic board issue, or is a result of the capacitors. Additionally, there is no startup chime played. This could be due to a bad ROM, or a multitude of other issues.
I've attached some pictures of the display image.
Also, there was a little bit of corrision around some of the components, although I was able to clean most of it off. I'm suspecting this is from the battery, as it has suffered a minor leak. I'm not sure if this could have damaged those components, but it's worth mentioning.
