Hi, I have Mac Classic 2 and it refuses to boot. I turn it on and it does its start up and I am displayed with a gray screen. Nothing happens no logos. Sometimes the display looks messed up, sometimes nothing is displayed but most of the time it is a gray screen.

Have you tried putting in a boot floppy?
It could be that the OS needs a reinstall.
You might want to open up your Classic to check out the motherboard, sometimes leaking capacitors are the problem.
