A coworker has a Mac II that won't power up at all. It's as if the
keyboard wasn't even connected to the CPU. I have ...

	-swapped power cables
	-swapped the adb cable
	-tried a different keyboard
	-tried different adb sockets
	-checked the line voltage (110 vac)
	-moved it to a different building (!)

It seems dead as the proverbial doornail. This unit has been in two
times for the same problem. The first time the repair folks swapped the
power cable and declared it fixed. The second time it worked without
problems in the shop (of course) and the repair guy couldn't find
anything wrong. It DID work for a while after it came back from the
second time, but it sure doesn't now. Clues? Thanks.

God I love intermittent problems.
