if the screen remains black, and adjusting contrast does nothing, than the capacitors soldered on the LCD panel are bad.

The if the hard drive spins down so quickly, it means that it cannot find its "location" sectors, I have 4 PB100, all with dead hard drivers, and two of them spin up, stay on for ten seconds and then die again

yep , this. Sigh.

Are the caps fixable on the LCD?

Caps caps caps caps... this is nuts.

Do caps go back on IIfx? I better pull mine from the attic and see what is going on with it.
