i disagree: the LCII, unlike later Macs, starts up fine with a flat battery 
(except it defaults to black and white and a default date)- my sister has been 
using my old LCII for a year now with a flat battery, only needing to do a soft 
reboot to restore these settings.
it is much more likely that the hard disk has become corrupt- reformat it with 
disk tools, reinstall software, and start again (you could try Norton 
Utilities, but at this stage, the disc is probably too far gone to save)
