Hello all,
I recently acquired a Lisa 2 (Macintosh XL) with the 2/5 motherboard, old IO board with the coprocessor socket and battery pack and 800k Floppy ROM, CPU board with ROM's dated 1985 and 2 x 512k RAM cards. The problem is, it won't start. The motherboard was badly corroded but I cleaned the corrosion with vinegar and alcohol and it looks decent now, I could not find any broken circuits.
What I already tested:
- Power supply is OK (+5V standby voltage present, replaced all electrolytic capacitors)
- on the COP421 chip I can measure the power button signal when I press the power button but the state of pin 24 remains the same
- i can "force" start the power supply by applying 5V on the ON pin of the COP421 (pin 24).
- the power supply starts with no problems, correct voltages present on the I/O board
- I can only get a grey picture with some horizontal lines but no sound and no video
- unfortunately I have no other boards to switch out for testing.
- does anybody have a clue where to start digging for reparing this lisa?
