Re: What's wrong with my IIgs?

Thanks..I tried that but nothing.

I even pulled the CPU out (bending all the damn pins...lol)
Still does the same thing.

I also did some really stupid stuff....I switched the CPU's direction and
even powered it up WITHOUT the CPU...hehe

Did the same thing...even without the CPU.

I'm amazed that I didn't blow something up....oh well, I saw another IIgs on
eBay...hmmmm
