Hi All,
I won an interesting auction on eBay last Friday. The complete IIe
system (with 2 Disk II drivers and a green monitor) came along with 37
cards which I will post later today.
When I turn on the IIe, the red LED is blinking and the computer does
not start up. Is that the signs of a power supply issue?
Please reply in "French", I mean with no technical wording as my
knowledge in electronics is equal to 0 ;-)

Antoine,

Have you tried removing *all* expansion cards from the //e prior to
turning it on? If not, thats a good place to start - this will verify
that it is not one of the cards and/or what they may be connected to
causing the problem.

Also, by the "red LED blinking" you mean the one on the motherboard?

Cheers,
Mike


The //e is empty: no cards inside.
The LED is the one on the motherboard.
Hmmm, I've never heard of the LED on the motherboard flashing - it does sound like a power supply problem, but I'll leave it up to the *real* hardware guys to help you with this one. :-)
If you have a voltmeter, you could test the output of the powersupply to make sure that the correct voltages are being output (the pinout of the power supply should be in the Apple II FAQ). 

Sorry I couldn't help more.

Cheers,
Mike
