	My SE/30 came that way and it turned out to be the brightness knob
had some cold solder joints that had come loose and made no contact.  They
just gave me a new analog board.  But the Classic doesn't have a brightness
knob.  Maybe the connector to the CRT has come off in shipment: doesn't
happen often but I have seen that also.
