Second vote for Charles. My SE/30 and IIsi were recapped by him, and he's working on two IIcis for me. Considering the fiddly work involved, his rates are very reasonable.

Ok, everything has been shipped to Charles. There is another Mac Color Classic arriving in the coming week, with a similar power up problem. If this one works out, then I'll know who to send that second board to. Thanks to everyone here for suggesting Charles.

Once/if the board works, I'll be looking for an HDD for the Color Classic.

I've just ordered a set of System 7.1 disks from here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Macintosh-Syste ... 35dc7fa21a

Remember that the CoCla needs System Enabler 401 as well. See this handy chart: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA47341

What kind of VRAM SIMM do you have on your CC? You might want to try with another working VRAM SIMM, as sometimes they can cause problems. Your stock CC should have no trouble with the slowest VRAM SIMM available.
