I'm not normally one to root around in other people's trash, but I spotted this on the curb during hard rubbish week and couldn't resist. Sounds like it's booting up fine, but the display is completely dead. I'll try resoldering the known problem joints and then replacing caps. Also, in what can only be described as a patently criminal act, the previous owner cut all the peripheral cables, presumably in an attempt to stop people getting at whatever is on the hard drive. Along with the broken keyboard key I've got a nice little refurb job on my hards, but I'm quietly hopeful I can get it running again.

LMAO stealing the cable off the mouse and leaving the connector is a first for me.
Well given the current prices for Apple DB9 mice I'd say if you don't mind a somewhat non-original cable you can repair that at least.
