Apple Mac Performa 5260/120 does not turn on.

I have a Apple MacIntosh Performa 5260/120 that does not turn on. I have checked cables and electrical outlet and no problems. Nothing is happening, no screen, no bip, no noise, nothing. Can you help please ?

Thank you very much.

    Dear Mr. Expert,



    It was found that 3 AA batteries needed to be replaced in order to turn the mac back on.

    i just got mine from a friend but i'm not ready to open it up yet. 
    one possible reason it is not working was that it is still too cold. it needs 50 degree f to operate. if that helps or if you can help me

Unfortunately, your computer is dead.

    This unit never came with AA batteries, chances are removing the logic board and replacing the board caused the unit to work, but I believe it will only work for a short period of time.

What moniter should i buy for my macintosh performa 6400/200?

The Apple Performa has a VGA video output, so any monitor with that has a VGA input/cable with it will work fine. You can find these monitors at places like Best Buy, Tiger Direct, New Egg, etc.

The only question left is how much are you looking to spend on a monitor.

Hope this helps!

My exterior Apple CD 600e will not show on the desktop of my Maci

As I recall, this is a SCSI device. Like many electrical connectors, SCSI connectors can develop a light corrosion which can keep the signals from being transmitted. The easiest way to clean such light corrosion is to shut down the Mac & power down *all* SCSI devices in the chain. Then gently unplug & replug all SCSI connectors. This will scrape off much of the corrosion & usually results in connectivity being restored. Be sure to unplug and replug the SCSI terminator attached to the last device in the SCSI chain. Restart by powering up the SCSI devices and finally restarting the Mac. Good luck!
