Made a bit of progress, I ordered some new RAM and a new ROM sticks (purple RAM and BMOW ROM) and I get a new sound from the SE/30 but still get the simasimac on the screen. Ill attach a link to a video: At this point I would confidently say that what @finkmac said before about there being a...

Just had a brainwave, you mentioned a "death chime" and to be honest, I know nothing of what the chime is meant to be. So I have just uploaded a short video of the SE30 powering on, I have only plugged in the power and speaker but its the same chime when the HD and Floppy are plugged in...
