Well, this was too cheep to pass up. A Performa 475 at a junk sale for 1 dollar.

However...there is a problem. It does not boot. Death chimes after startup chime. No video output. :/

I have tried the following:

Fresh PRAM

Reseat CPU

Clean Logic Board of Goop (not a total submerged wash but a spot-wash with q-tips and h2o2)

Remove HDD

Remove Floppy

Remove RAM

Nothing. Its a fast death chime too, not slowly played.

Too bad really as a pizza box 040 would be nice...if it worked. Any tips? Or is the logic board shot like the Apple service manual says? No corrosion is seen on the board.
