Chosen Solution

I can’t boot up my Macintosh LC II. It keeps trying then it stops with a white screen on the monitor. There are no ‘faces’ appearing on the screen when it tries to boot. Now after umpteenth times I now get only a dark screen. Interestingley in one of the boot tries I was able to get my open file page but with a frozen cursor. After a few minutes the page disappeared with only a white screen again re-appearing. Can this kind of malfunction be repaired? Update I found the battery, Thanks, Ralph

Replace the 3.6 volt AA battery and see if the problem persists.

Hy, Ralph! How’s your LC? Did you repair it? I’ve just repaired mine. The power supply was KO. I found one (not genuine) with +/-5V&+12V from an old computer. The battery keeps your settings and should not be a condition for starting. (At least at my LC). All the best! Marian
