It's possible that the volume is set to zero preventing the audible 
start-up bong, or the audio connector is loose. But on the SE/30 I 
suspect you have a no-audio problem fairly common on these logic boards. 
It can usually be fixed by replacing capacitors C3 and C4.

Since more than one startup disk fails to boot, I suspect a dirty floppy 
drive over bad floppies.

If you slapped the side when the ? was showing and it didn't help, then 
you were flogging a dead hard drive.

When I boot up an unknown SE/30 and see any kind of disk or mac icon I am 
happy, because I can fix just about anything on it except the logic board.
