If you can lay your hands on them, there are some really good books
out there on how to repair most Mac's through about the SE/30 out
there. I used one years ago to repair a Mac SE/30.

I decided to take my life and my capacitors in my hands

power on the somewhat grubby old Mac+ I was given recently.
I hooked up a keyboard and mouse and plugged it in.
The floppy drive makes a very short whine, the Mac emits a fairly
basic monophonic happy-Mac beep, and sits there humming quietly at me.
However, the screen does not light up.
It /sounds/ like the logic board is initialising OK but the screen isn't.
Is there much troubleshooting that someone fairly electronically
incompetent can do to one of these?
