Testing Classic Mobo/RAM Card/SIMMS w/Plus Analog . . .

Board and CRT, should it work? :?:

I've still got the MoBo & maxed (?) Memory Card from the Curbed Classic I liberated, lo, these many years ago. I never tried to fix the beast I found sitting in the rain. IIRC, I didn't get any response at all when it dried out and I tried to power it up, so I assumed it was a PSU/Analog Board related problem that laid this Mac at my feet.

My working assumption is that this pristine combo ought to be bootable, There's still some goop on the MoBo, likely from a leaking Cap on the Anolog/PSU/whatever. I'd like to take pics, clean it up, and give it a shot before storing it again or posting it in the Trading Post.

 
Piccies! It looks to me like somebody might have spilled a drink on top of the Classic. No traces seem to be acid burned or show GOOP effects . . .

. . . dunno, it's dishwasher time! }:)

Is there anything in the Classic Case that might have deposited that GOOP? :?:

 
Clean board piccies! ;)

I can't see any damage caused by whatever GOOP was deposited on the MoBo! [:D] ]'>

So, how should I go about testing this thing after it dries out for a few days? :?:
