Hi,
I just picked up a IIe to give to a friend as a gift (and get him hooked on vintage machines) and when switched on it enters the internal diagnostics without any intervention from me. The display is the usual shifting garbage and the beeps happen, but instead of "SYSTEM OK" it keeps doing this over and over again. If I use the keyboard and force it to go into diagnostics it will go thought the tests, beep and display "SYSTEM OK". It won't boot or enter basic though. I've removed and re-seated the socketed IC's and thoroughly cleaned and inspected the board. It has no rust or contaminants on it and in fact didn't really need cleaning other than for the dust on it.
.
Please Help.
Thanks,
