Okay, first off, I know. The 5200 isn't the world's best computer. It might even be among the world's worst. But I've wanted one since they showed up at my elementary school in the mid '90s, and finally after almost a decade of searching I landed one.
Frankly, given how it was shipped to me, I'm amazed it survived at all.
It's been heavily upgraded it seems, with a 1.6GB hard drive, 64MB RAM, and Mac OS 8.5, but I think something got knocked loose during shipping. The Mac screams at me after the initial startup chime (an electronic shriek that goes away as soon as the Mac OS loading screen appears), and the screen has... issues... with some intense wobbling and misalignment. Where should I start troubleshooting this?
