Hi everyone,
Well the subject line says it. No chime, no nothing. Quiet as a mouse. Last time I booted it was > 4 years ago and it worked fine.

My questions are the following:

1) will dead batteries really prevent Mac II from booting?

2) I have my B/W monitor power cable connected via the back of the Mac II (not directly into AC outlet on wall) as was designed. The monitor is not getting any power. Does that indicate dead power supply? In other words, will monitor get power even if main computer is off? If so is this a dead power supply?

Thanks kindly

1)Yes. Absolutely, without a doubt :/

2)I don't know. Someone else will answer that soon though, I'm sure.
