Aging capacitors is likely a problem in many nonfunctional Macintosh Portable computers. The best way to diagnose bad capacitors is to remove some of each type used in the system and test them. Most of the time the machine would not turn on. Occasionally it would turn on when the main battery was removed and the nine volt battery was reinstalled.

The Apple Macintosh Portable features a 16 MHz 68HC000 processor, 1 MB of RAM, a 1.44 MB floppy disk drive and the option of a 40 MB hard drive in a boxy portable case with a 9.8' monochrome active-matrix display.
The Portable often was referred to as the 'luggable' because it weighed nearly 16 pounds, but nevertheless, it still was a significant advance toward truly portable 'laptop' or 'notebook' computers.
