Hi,

When I turn it on all it does is display two wide black vertical bars. So what does
that mean???
Thanks RAy.

Hi, this is some information I use when dealing with these kind of problems. Hope it helps.

• Shut down the computer.
• Unplug the computer's power cord.
• Press and hold the power button for 20 seconds.
• Release the power button.
• Attach the computers power cable.
• Press the power button to turn on the computer

The Performa 200 has a power toggle, not a button. Holding it in any position wouldn't have an effect.
I am now telling the computer exactly what it can do.

When I googled your problem this came out as solution. Could you please try this?

1 Verify that jumper on memory expansion board is configured
correctly for “SIMMs” or “No SIMMs.” (See “Memory
Upgrade” in Upgrades.)
2 On 4 MB Macintosh Classic, confirm SIMMs used are eightchip SIMMs. (See Memory manual.) Any 1 MB SIMMs with
fewer than eight chips won’t work in the Macintosh Classic.
3 On Macintosh Classic, replace optional memory expansion
board; on Macintosh Classic II/Performa 200, replace
optional SIMMs in two SIMMs slots on logic board.
4 Replace logic board. Retain customer’s SIMMs.
