Yes! This exactly describes my problem. Now to get the beast apart to
see if I can effect a repair.
I was driving into town when I spoted the
aforementioned computer in
some
phule's garbage. I stopped and pulled it out. However, when I turn it
on, the screen comes up 4 grey scan lines, then alternating 8 black
scan
lines and 8 grey scan lines. A friend mentioned that this is normal
boot
config, that it should then proceed to the happy mac icon and so on.
He
asked if the ROM was still in it. I can't get the box open though : I
don't have the extra special long torx driver to get at the 2 top
screws.
And the hex extention bits I have don't fit into the hole.
Anyone have a clue about how to revive this? I'd love to get netbsd
running on it.
Or is it hopeless?

Should be repairable. Here is a site that has just about everything you
ever wanted to know about the Macintosh SE/30.

Here is what you
will need:
Clever.
Thank you for the advice.
