Dead SE/30

[MrCoffee]

Hey hey,

My SE/30 seems to have died. It powers on, but nothing, no display, other then hearing the HD cycle. No idea what happened to it other then age.

I am looking for a replacement, but if anyone has any suggestions of a possible fix, it would be great.

Thanks,

MrC

SOunds like an analog board has crapped out.

Do you get the bong start up sound?

We will need more specifics to help you out.

...but nothing, no display, other then hearing the HD cycle...

Is it the sound of the HD spinning up and setting the heads over the parking area track just once, or do you hear the ton of seeks and transfers that are normally associated with the boot up process?

Honestly, I dont remember, but I believe i hear the drive trying to boot, or at least a lot of seeking..... will check it again. (Got furstrated not having the second box to work on, so I plugged a G3 iMac into where the SE/30 was.)
