My Mac Plus has just failed. When I turn it on, a small horizontal 
very bright white line followed below by increasingly longer faint lines
appears on the screen. At the same time, the mac repeats a loud PLOP
PLOP PLOP endlessly (or until I shut it down). As I read it on the net
is it possible that the failure might not directly relate to the
power supply board ?  I've read in the trouble shooting notes that
the recommended fix is to replace the power supply board, the logic
board and the internal floppy drive. I have replaced the floppy drive
a week before.
I'd like to minimize my repair cost. Any help appreciated.
Mac Plus with Back Pack, 110 V.
