[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1734589, member: 56379"] My first thought is this Classic II may have been stored or placed in a closet or deep dark dusty corner somewhere for the very reason you mentioned. Maybe it "crapped-out" a long time ago...and it was "put to rest" where it was stored. I purchased a 100% working Classic II for about $15 bucks maybe 3-4 years ago. They may be worth more...they may be worth less on eBay. Sounds to me that it may take a bit too much $$$ to get it working again...if what I'm about to suggest doesn't work. Since Classic II's are pretty old. The PRAM battery probably died years ago. You could try replacing the PRAM battery...and see if that helps. If not...then post it on Craig's List or eBay as a parts computer (not-working). Or keep it on a shelf somewhere because it's..."So darn cute!";) - Nick [/QUOTE]
