this is my first attempt at posting to the newsgroup.  Here is my problem:

I have an Apple II+ sitting in my office.  It has a wopping 64K memory (48K 
plus a 16K graphics card-monochrome).  The last time it was powered on was 
well over 4 years ago.  However, at that time, it worked fine.  In fact, I
simply shut it off and never turned it back on.

Now the ][+ has a significant amount of dust on the parent-board (even though
it had been covered with a dust cover for all this time...) and when I tried to
power it up the other day, NOTHING HAPPENED!  No drive activity, no hum, no 
nothing.

Can anyone give me some troubleshooting ideas?  I have been saving the ][+ for
my boy (it will be his 'first' computer) and I am a bit disappointed that now
it does not seem to work. 

Any help will be appreciated.  Please reply directly to me at either of the
addresses below:
