My old IIci wouldn't boot up once a time. I opened it and finally found
that fluid from the battery went over the motherboard. Althought it was
very little, it made the power-on circuit defective becuase it oxidated
some parts.

Also, I had to replace the ROM chips in my MacII years ago beacause it
only bootet 3 out of ten times. But since ROM chips aren't quite cheap,
I'd try to swap them first - *if* you are familiar with such a
procedure.
