Classic II
I picked up a Classic II yesterday for $3 at a church rummage sale. Today I finally got the chance to power it on and check it out. Unfortunately I was greeted with this:
No bong no resone from the KB/Mouse, and nothing but a cramped blank screen.
So I opened it up and saw some capacitor goo, expected, and some corrosion. I cleaned up some of it with some alcohol and a q-tip. I tried it again, but to no avail. Here's a picture of the worst corrosion.
So I remembered a spare Classic I board, and tried it in place of the II board. It turned on to this:
Partial success!
I'll make a post in the compact forums, but does these symptoms ring a bell to anyone?

Needs a proper restoration. Replace all caps on logicboard and analog board if you know what you are doing. Otherwise, let a professional do the recap for you.

Well, after a through cleaning/drying to see if I can get it to boot temporarily it still does the same. I'm thinking even if I replace the capacitors that it will still be dead because of the corrosion on some chips. So... anyone have a spare Classic II logic board?
