Ok. I started it up to begin fixing, and I notice 2 faint jumping lines on the display. I refer to the dead mac scrolls, and aparently its the analog board being out of adjustment. Before I was going to do any tinkering, I decide to try to boot from a System 6 disk, and the instant I put the disk in the drive, the mac resets. The good disk is rejected by the SE each time.

I think I am going to remove the SCSI hard disk and see what happens.

News: On the removal of the HD, it boots from the System 6.0.8 floppy. However while typing in TeachText, I heard faint noises coming from the mac each time I pressed a key. I think this indicates a larger overall problem, but I am not sure.

Some other details: It was MFD in 1989 in the Fremont Factory. Its a pretty young SE.
