Hey guys,
So I have this Mac II that I've had for eons, and it sat for about 8 years and the caps went bad. I can see some light corrosion here and there, including the legs of UB1. Anyway, it would not power on. One of the PRAM batteries was dead, I replaced both with 3.6V (they were 3.0V, I've read mixed things in different forums as to what voltage is correct). Still would not start. So I replaced all the SMD caps. It still does not start off the keyboard or back switch, but it does jump start and play the usual Mac chime. However there is no video and it does not try to boot anything.
Would appreciate any suggestions on what to look at next.
I did the battery replacement a long time ago, and then shelved the unit. For some reason I recall one of the batteries having its polarity reversed from the first one. No idea why that would be, given the positive is clearly marked on the same side of each battery on the silkscreen.
