tanuki65, depending on the video card, it may need recapping. If it is the Apple 8bit video card, it will need recapping as it has those dreaded 47µf electrolytic caps that leaks. The Apple 24bit video card seems to be solid-state caps on it (it does on the two that I have).

At this age, if it is an 8 bit card, both it and the motherboard will need recapping.

It also depends on the video adapter; I find on most Mac Video cards you need H-Sync, V-Sync and Composite Sync (aka Sync on Green) to be turned on as well as any other video set up it has. It should turn on with 640X480 settings with the sync's turned on.

Damn, I forgot about that damn battery. I hope it did not explode.
