http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/images/macIIcisch.GIF is worth a look. Before any cap surgery you can measure if +5 continuous is coming from the infamous power supply zener diode Z1 and if the startup circuit depicted on the motherboard is commanding the power supply to start up. Caps C6, 12 and 13 of course have to be good, and additionally any cap leaking could cause faulty connections not shown or intended. The PS is tedious to disassemble but if need be the +5 continuous "TRKL" schematic is easy to manually reverse engineer working back from the connector green wire to pin 10.
The IIci has a jumper at W1 that enables the built-in ROM.
IIsis and IIcis are basically the same in video output. They both combine the Horizontal and Vertical Sync on the Green Video line (Sync-on-Green). They do not provide discrete sync signals.
Put the power switch at the back at "server" position doesnt do anything... then i plug an adb cable to the IIci and the other end of the cable to the adb port -momentarily- of an already powered on macintosh . The IIci powers up and works flawlessly but if i want to shut it down i have to disconnect everything (Psu/baterry) leave it to discharge for more than five minutes.

You have one of the infamous Asante 10 megabit cards that doesn't properly signal it's capabilities, so modern switches ignore it as "defective". The easy solution is to get a cheap 10 megabit hub and connect it between the IIci and your switch.
