Hi
can anyone help me troubleshoot a IICX ?
When powered up, I can see bus activity on the RAM & the ROM, the hard drive spins up then down and the floppy is accessed, but I get no tones and nothing on the screen.
I can see a burst of activity on the NUBUS and the memory/rom being accessed on the video card.
So, it looks as if the CPU is running and accessing the rom, ram and the video card then running some access on the disks but not putting anything on the screen and not playing the tones.
What is the normal startup sequence and should I at least get the sad face icon on the screen for any fault (except a video card fault of course)
Did think it was a total loss, but seeing bus activity makes me think it might be saveable.
