A IIci in my depressingly large stack-o-macs does not recognize any Nubus cards — working video cards, for instance, have no output when installed.
I took a look at the machine today. A few months ago I had had a quick go at rehabilitating it. The caps had leaked so badly that the machine would not boot, and so the logic board was washed and dried; no caps were replaced, but at least the machine will now boot every time you try into 7.1. Today, while rummaging around and re-organizing my storage, I also swapped the power supply in this particular IIci for a known-good one from a IIvx, in order to try some cards in the Nubus slots again. Alas, I still have a no-Nubus situation.
I can do rudimentary soldering with the best of them, but am not trained in electronics at all, so I ask here: Could bad caps prevent sufficient power from getting to the Nubus slots, so that they do not work, or is it possible that I have a dead Nubus controller on the board meaning that is not worth going to the trouble of re-capping the machine?
