[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Mac II Logic Board Batteries

bmartin@uhccux.uhcc.Hawaii.Edu (Brian Martin) (03/04/91)

What are the symptoms of battery failure on the Mac II logic board? I have a
Mac II that does not want to start up--no chimes/bong, etc. It is an Aug 1988
model. A friend of mine suggested desoldering both batteries from the logic
board and testing them. Before I do so, I'd like some advice on whether
or not this is an appropriate action.

Assuming it's a battery problem, where do I get them?

If it's a logic board problem, would it make sense to get the IIfx upgrade
rather than pay for a logic board repair?

Thanks in advance.
