Mac II and IIcx questions

Don't forget to check the caps (there's a lot of them) and it's about time for them to go if they haven't already...

:lol: I love old threads. Do you still have that DOA DuoDock? If you do and it's the PSU that died (especially if there was clicking involved?) there's an easy fix for the most common failure point.

IIRC, the PowerCache adapter for the II & IIcx plugged into the CPU and MMU sockets.

You might want to try pulling all socketed ICs and re-seating them before doing any further testing. 😉

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I'm still thinking through my options.

The PSU is an easy fix. Actually getting the dock apart without it crumbling into a thousand shards of Michael Spindler's smirking face is the difficult part.
