Ok I have asked at the lisa list but I will also ask here (68kmla has always been so helpful) so if you are part of the lisa list I am sorry you have to read this twice. I have been working on a lisa 2/5 I have had for a while as a

hobby. I have not touched it in a while and lately I have been in the

mood to repair it. The condition it is in now is a whole lot better

then it was when I found it. When the power button is pressed it

lights up, so does the disk drive light. I also can hear a High pitch

sound from the power supply, (could be the high voltage circuit for

the screen I suppose). No video on screen but does seem to display

short lines on screen in several rows, kind of like

and they are moving upward. I have looked in as many documents as I

could find to pinpoint this and have not done so. today when I was

looking I noticed that there were some capacitors that looked like

they were cut from the I/O. I know some are left off on purpose but

these could have been taken out by the person that owned it before me

(an artsy type that tore apart computers by the look of it so it would

not be surprising) I also have no Hard drive for is or keyboard/

mouse, and I do not know if that will effect it's ability to display.

(I would not be surprised if I knew at one time and forgot I have put

this project off for a while)
