   In spite of its excellent conditions, this #Plus4 does not power up at all 😭

   The AC fuse in the PSU and the DC one on the motherboard aren't blown, so my next suspect is the "wedge" power-supply.

   These PSUs made by #Commodore in the '80s are known to fail often. Sometimes, they even output higher voltages on the +5V line which powers ALL the chips on the board! 😱

   But this isn't the case: the power LED is steady off, and I measured near 0 volts on VCC pins.
