Okay, I've replaced all of the caps.

But I still have a black screen. No screen activity whatsoever. When I plug in my external HD I can hear disk activity.

Small overview of the actions I've taken:

1) Problem: when i used the macintosh plus for a while, the screen went black. Pushin the sides would resolve the problem temporarly.

2) I've resoldered the J1 connector. After that still no screen.

3) Replaced all the caps and resoldered the joints on the flyback transformer.

No screen... I hear a buzzing sound about 30 seconds after turning the Plus on, the back of the CRT lights (faintly) up.
