It could be something as simple as a bad PRAM battery.
There's a little door in the upper back, that has a
battery in it.
Open it and see if there's a battery in there. If it
hasn't exploded... You probably can try replacing that
as a start.
Next would be the Power Supply/Analog board.
But, yes... You should be able to buy a replacement
cheaper than fixing that unit. Though, you might find
buyers for the parts to help fund that.

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.
Thanks in advance.
