Re: lisa 2 startup problems

Hello Alex,

perhaps this could also be a problem with the power supply. If the output voltages are not correct, the psu automatically shuts off. I had the same problem a few years ago, when I received a psu from a collector in England to get it repaired again. So have you ever measured the 5 output voltages: permanent +5V standby, +5V, +12V and -5V, -12V. ?
They're (with small tolerances) very important to get a Lisa fired up.

The second error could be a permanet triggered ON/OFF safety interlock. In this case Lisa would not fire up or would only get power for less than a half second and only make a sound like "blip", when you push the power button.
