As already discussed heavily on the list, it's
probably due to the
battery corroding/erupting over time. The Mac Color Classic I got my
hands on was the same way. Since I really had nothing to lose, I took
the easy approach of actually just washing the board under water.
Once dried and reassembled it worked.
There were much more elegant approaches on how you might repair such
damages on the list. Might be worth a look.
It's not battery corrosion -- the board is literally rusted, all over
:). The battery's nasty too, but that's only a small part of what's
wrong with it. I suppose I can soak it in something, maybe scrub it
with a toothbrush and see if that helps at all, but it's pretty bad.
As Cameron pointed out, there are other boards that will work with some
modification, I'll keep my eyes out for those as well...
Thanks,
Josh

Title says it all; rescued a Color Classic from
Certain Doom, but the
motherboard is beyond repair (somehow it's all rusted and nasty while
the rest of the machine is clean as a whistle...)
Anyone have a working spare to part with (or know a good place to get
one cheap?)
Thanks as always...
