eBay IIci WTF

Posted by: Mr SN on 2020-05-22 15:35:23 I think I know why this IIci won't boot.  When you see it! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Macintosh-IIci-Computer-M5780-Includes-Hard-Drive-Does-not-power-on/124170269083

Posted by: sstaylor on 2020-05-22 18:05:39 Hope it didn't kill the cache card or the logic board!

Posted by: jwse30 on 2020-06-21 07:35:34 I was guessing the lack of RAM would have prevented it.

Posted by: jeremywork on 2020-06-21 09:57:00 I bought a IIci with a Micron 128k cache, also jammed in the Nubus slot. The seller said they tried to power it on, and it didn't work (unsurprisingly) but upon arrival, both the board and the cache still function properly, once I bent the pins back into place.

Posted by: Juror22 on 2020-06-21 10:41:44 It needs new caps as well - the dust is a little darker near the caps, likely they won't be around much longer. That was a great picture by the way, lots of detail, I can't believe that its an eBay pic.
