I am mainly just writing for moral support... I am trying to progress through denial and face up to the fact that I'll have to send my new SE/30 right back to the ebay seller. It started up once okay, but the second time it looked like the picture here

...like the "early symptoms" on the left. It doesn't bong, there are vertical stripy patterns like the ones in the picture, and it doesn't start up.
If I were experienced at opening and repairing old macs I guess I'd happily take it on as a challenge, but I'm definitely out of my depth here. I've never even opened one up, much less ever soldered anything in my life.
Sigh...
I will try starting it again a few times just to make sure I'm not hallucinating...
Thanks all,
Jessi
