CRG | Macintosh IIci, can I finally get a working machine? @CRG | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
Last time I had this battery bombed machine on the bench I got it to the point where it would power on and chime but it only showed a black screen. I asked for your help and there were some excellent suggestions, so in this video let’s try a few of those and see if it can be fixed.
Let's be honest though I'm well and truly invested into the pursuit of having a working IIci so in one way or another I'll get a working system by the end of this...
