HI Mars478, I would tackle the vertical scan collapse first. As Tom said re-solder the connector and see it that works. The missing chime is most likely due to leaking capacitor on the logic board, the Classic II's are notorious for that. It's probably best to sort out one thing at a time. Just be careful not to run it too long with the white line showing, it will burn into the phosphorus, leaving you a permeant line.
