Macintosh II Family: Troubleshooting Power-On Problems (4/94)

When I shutdown my Macintosh II, I can't power it on again without
unplugging the computer for about two minutes. What could be causing
this?

Have an Apple Authorized Dealer try the following:

Check the battery levels on the logic board. The voltage should be
3.6VDC. If it is 3.3VDC or less, replace the battery. If the battery is
fine, try another power supply (even if you've replaced it already) and a
new keyboard.
