Apple Lisa: Why is the Apple Lisa tripping the mains power?

Wed, 08 Mar 2017 20:00:29 -0700

I just took my apple lisa out of storage.

When I plugged the power in and turned it on, first of all it powered on but it couldn't read the internal harddrive.

So i took the hard drive out and cleaned the contacts with spray on contact cleaner, blew some dust out and reconnected it.

Now when I connect the power it trips the mains before i even get to press the on switch.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Apple Lisa: Lisa new start - Screen line

Wed, 17 Jan 2024 20:12:24 -0700

I have recently restarted my Lisa, but the screen is dark except for a horizontal white line. I would like to get it ready to sell. Am I doing something wrong? Is this fixable?

Apple Lisa: CRT and video card operation.

I would like to ask if the machine could start using only the psu, the main board and video board, without any other card.

I have a Lisa 2 in not working state, and I would like to check first the operation of CRT.
