Subject line says it all. Here are the specifics. 1989 SE/30 running 6.0.5,
loads of things, running SingleShare at the time, connected into AppleTalk
network via PhoneNET connectors. I come back home, and bingo, it's screen
is grey- with a funny sort of problem. I turn it off, then on again. No
"bong" noise- uhoh. HD spins up to speed, light flashes a little, but no go.
Pressing restart button on side does nothing- screen flickers, but odd,
static-filled screen comes up. Restart from floppy unsuccessful.

I realize that this is a severe hardware problem, but I'm not so sure that I
understand how everything could work so right, yet not work at all. Anyone
have any ideas? Is this a fried Mac? Power Supply must be fine, right? Screen
OK. Oh, I'd much rather get "Sad Mac" codes, to tell the truth. Oh, well. I
thought I'd share this with y'all. I'll take it in to the dealer, but I was
wondering if anyone had ever seen anything like it.

:-(   <- this is me. 'later.
