Up for sale is an old Apple Macintosh Quadra 800 from 1993. This old desktop Mac has NO hard drive and will not startup or display anything on the screen. When the power button is pressed, it plays the Macintosh sound, then it plays a little melody which ends with some dissonance – this probably means something to someone? Watch the video to hear the sound. To troubleshoot the issue, one of the internets says to try re-seating the RAM, so we removed the motherboard and reset the RAM – however, the two SIMMs that are installed both say ‘LASER PRINTER MEMORY X4’ on all of the chips and re-seating the RAM seemed to have no effect. The battery has significant corrosion on it – SEE PICTURES. AND, it looks like something has been spilled on the motherboard – ALSO SEE PICTURES. So, we’re offering this old project on the internet to see if perhaps someone needs some parts or is willing to try and resurrect this old Mac. Good luck!
