| Lisa startup failure | |
| Posted by: aihk on 2025-03-21 05:09:41 Lisa keeps making a clicking sound when it turns on, and the rubbish screen keeps jumping. I have an oscilloscope and a multimeter. Where should I start to solve the problem? | |

| Posted by: bmwcyclist on 2025-03-23 19:20:15 I don’t believe you can boot with no I/O board. | |

I mean can I see normal picture with only CPU board?Hi, I'm pretty sure you cannot boot any computer without RAM. I also don't think the Lisa can boot without any, so it needs at least one 512K board. The Lisa does perform a POST at startup, which checks for memory.
