Post

There's a site (I'll post the link if I can find it) which documents all sorts of SE/30 issues.

EDIT: Here it is! http://www.biwa.ne.jp/~shamada/fullmac/repairEng.html

From that page, it says:

Symptoms(1) Early Symptoms

No startup bongs

Irregular fine rasters, usually vertical although variable

Delay of startup after power-on

Unexpected intermittent restart

(2) Terminal Symptoms

No startup

Horizontal stripes

Diagnosis and Background

On startup, Power-ON reset signals are generated endlessly.

The underlined text could case COD in most cases-I've heard that a reset signal at startup will cause a COD (normal Macs do it if you press the reset button at startup).
