A good guess but four months ago I moved my new Mac IIfx and
it wouldn't turn on after worlds.  I tried everything to fix
it, including re-setting the SIMMs in case they were loose.  
Eventually unplugging and replugging the mouse into the ADB
port in the back let it turn on.

I never found out the problem, but I don't ask questions.
