Remove your good PRAM battery for 24 hours, with the machine unplugged.
This used to fix about 90% of them.

Hi folks,
After getting a nubus ethernet card and a radius 24bit accelerator I
thought
I'd dig out my olde IIfx......trouble is
it's refusing to power up even
with
different keyboards/known good PRAM batteries. It
worked when I got it a
couple of years ago; I even treated it to knew batteries, so anyone know
of
any instant fixes for dead machines?
I'm going to steal the PSU from my other Mac II and see if it makes a
difference....I know they're the same apart from the IIfx one has a
variable
speed fan.
Cheers,
