Thanks for the advice. I pulled all the transceivers and tested them with the Retro Chip Tester. All of them were good. No bad traces under the chips. I have not scoped any clocks yet, but I'll try that.
The one board I have was remarkably clean, even before I cleaned it. The leaky caps caused...
I have 2 Mac II (820-0228-A) motherboards that will chime, but no video. I have cleaned and recapped both boards, as well as fix the usual bad traces between the VIA chips and the batteries. I'm using an original video card and matching monitor. I'm even using a recapped power supply. I've...
