I don't have a dishwasher :), but I carefully scrubbed it w/soap & water & a
toothbrush (and a bit of WD-40 to help loosen the corrosion). ?It doesn't
look as terrible now.
I put a good PRAM battery in, and cleaned off the edge connectors.
?Unfortunately I get nothing when I power the system on. ?(It's a two-step
process -- there's a main switch on the back, but the power key on the
keyboard is what tells the system to power on.) ?Without the motherboard
installed, the fan kicks in and the hard drive powers up, so I know the
power supply is working (voltages seem to be fine.)
The only diagnostic ref I can find is a really really basic board-swapping
checklist. ?Any suggestions on what to check that is preventing the machine
from powering on?
If you decide to go that route, I think I have a Performa 6200 in the
garage somewhere... You could have the motherboard out of that, if you
wish. Free for the postage from the UK.
