Hi,

I rescued a Mac IIsi today. I opened it up, and it is missing its hard drive. The battery has also leaked, corroded some areas here and there on the motherboard. A small SMD cap near the battery also fell off, but it is not broken, so maybe after the cleanup, I can solder it back on. It looks quite bad right now, but I think it looks worse than it actually is.

I will pull out the motherboard and give it a good cleaning, and see if things are working after that. All 4 RAM slots are populated, but the larger SIMM next to the RAM is empty.
