So I will be in search of a Thorx D-15 screwer next

You definitely need to get inside. Basically it powers up but the CPU isn't doing it's initialisation.

Any sounds?

---No «bong». According to the repairing mac link I posted before, it seems to be (copy-paste):

Diagnosis(1) The most probable cause is connection troubles between the ROM-SIMM and the ROM-SIMM slot.(...)

---As for the Torx screw-driver, no problem. I found out I have got the perfect one. Reaches the handler screws in the upper back of the case pefectly.

Today the Classic booted up again succesfully and I worked again fine with it. But chances are tomorrow it won't. So perhaps 3,6 V battery may be dead (could I boot without battery...?) Let's see where all this takes me....RAM?...battery? :-/

I will keep posting...
