Dead Apple?

Hi All,

I received an Apple IIe today which I am told has been in storage for a number of years. It looks clean enough inside but it does not power up.

It is a 120v model so I hooked it up with a suitable transformer but the supply voltage does not get past the IEC power socket. This looks to have some built in filtration but I get no voltage at the output side.

is it possible that the filter has failed?

Would it be ok to replace it with a non filtered type just to prove that the machine will power up?

Any help gratefully received!

Thanks,

Richard.

Richard,

Are you in the US, or UK, or where? Smile

Hi Steven,

I am in the UK so I am using a stepdown transformer. I'm pretty sure the power filter in the IEC socket has gone pop somehow and if I can't get a replacement I was going to fit a none filtered one temporatily just to see if the IIe would power up.

Thanks,

Richard
