Hi,

I got a Mac Portable from Haplain, and apparently it's a bit of a fixer-upper (which I knew going in, because of my tight budget).

It will come on, but it just sits there chiming about once every second. The display is good, because I can produce a Sad Mac and it'll show up just fine.

Anyway, I was wondering if anybody had any advice. I would like to also see if maybe I could buy/trade for a working board, if possible, in the event that it's unfeasible to repair the one I have.

This board has been recapped with axial caps (the ones with both terminals coming out one end), so that should not be a problem (although perhaps there's a damaged trace from before?)
