Apple II

Any one still has a working Apple II(c,e) computer. I have two but they both are not functioning any more. Not sure I ready to believe delay in solid state.
I almost managed to read that. Care to rework that second sentence? There's hardly any purpose in hanging on to dead hardware, especially something that old. I was hit by nostalgia a few months back, and had been looking at local ebay equivalents to reacquaint myself with a Commodore 64 (which I grew up with). Fortunately some company managed to put together a minified version (think Nintendo's own NES-mini and SNES-mini from last year) which can use the same disk images as emulators (well, it *is*, itself, an emulator). I've tinkered with all the C64 emulators before, but having this in the "right" form factor, with a functional joystick and all, managed to capture my interest over the holidays for far longer than emulators ever have.

I have one. First thing to check is the power supply, on tech this vintage the electrolytic filter capacitors are the first things to go: they will either open circuit or short out, neither is good for the electrons in there. If the power supply passes the test then things get a bit more interesting - more symptoms on "not functioning" will be needed :-\
