First of all its a pleasure to see such a forum with 68k lovers...i thought we were under extinction! [] ]'>

To the point...

No chime, not powering up.... i replaced all four capacitors with new!

Still no chime throu the speaker but i can hear it (low volume) through the audio out at the back.

Put the motherboard throu a dishwasher cycle... came out shiny and bright but still not powering up!

Psu working it can even start a quadra650.

I found a solution that powers up the IIci but it kinda twisted!

I put the power switch at the back at "server" position doesnt do anything... then i plug an adb cable to the IIci and the other end of the cable to the adb port -momentarily- of an already powered on macintosh . The IIci powers up and works flawlessly but if i want to shut it down i have to disconnect everything (Psu/baterry) leave it to discharge for more than five minutes.

Any ideas? I love this machine and dont want to giveup on it!

Thanks
