The recent discussion about reviving a Mac SE/30
reminded me that I have a
"fat mac" in my closet collecting dust. I found it after a yard sale a few
years ago. ( I like to go late and see what finds I can get for nothing
because the people just want the stuff out of their house.) I remember when
I plugged it in, nothing happened. No sounds, lights, bars, patterns,
sad/happy macs, etc. Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do to
attempt to get it running. Is it worth it? (I'd like to play with it but
could I find another one that works for less than it will take to fix?) It
came with a large box of disks, and external drive, mouse and keyboard, so
it seemed like a complete system, except that it doesn't work.
Check whether there is any DC voltage out of the power supply. If
not, there is a fuse buried in the power supply that is likely
blown. Start your trouble shooting from there.

Thanks in advance.
