Check the battery area for acid damage, it's quite frequent on Apollo 1240s.

Check the corrosion close to battery as other said. Second type of faults are bad contacts on MACH chips inside sockets.

Didn't he quit due to health problems? Better email him first before sending anything.

 Just go on to AmiBay and have a look. There are some excellent people offering their 'services' on that board for a reasonable price. |
