Macintosh SE crushed
Posted by: Highsheep1 on 2024-08-08 03:10:49 For my Macintosh SE， it used to be great, but when I plug in Blue SCSI, and it works well, the machine crush. I immediately remove the blueSCSI and restart, but the machine just restart automatically, just like someone press the reset buttum. And the "beep" sounds also occured with the resetment. During this period, the screen just be white, you can see it on pictures. And the built-in hard drive light is always on. I tried to remove the hard disk and it's still the same. Can anyone tells me what's the problem and how can I fix it.

Posted by: Highsheep1 on 2024-08-08 03:31:27 If it's resetting itself, check the voltages out of the power supply. If it's resetting itself, check the voltages out of the power supply. I plug in with 220V. So there should be no problem with voltages I think
Posted by: cheesestraws on 2024-08-08 03:39:02 I meant the voltages coming out of the power supply in the computer. You can check them on the floppy port.

Posted by: demik on 2024-08-08 04:24:04 Just out of curiosity, what kind of BlueSCSI did you use (a picture of it would be fine) ? Why do you suspect it ?
Posted by: Highsheep1 on 2024-08-08 05:06:28 Do you have a mutlimeter? Yes.

Posted by: joshc on 2024-08-08 05:55:18 Use your multimeter to measure the output voltages of the power supply at the floppy port. What you are doing is measuring the 12V and 5V rails of the power supply. Ruling this out first is a good idea, if your power supply is OK then something else is causing a problem.

Yes, this is what I was referring to. Thanks @joshc for the diagram 🙂

Posted by: cheesestraws on 2024-08-08 08:51:21 Did you watch them over time while the machine was misbehaving/resetting?
Posted by: Highsheep1 on 2024-08-08 08:53:55 Yes, it just remain resetting and the beep sound goes on.
Posted by: Highsheep1 on 2024-08-08 08:57:20 Oh, and I can tell you what happens last before it crush. I opened the machine, and it worked. But for few minutes, it opened debugger automatically, and can't be existed. And for another few minutes, there was a white square with nothing on the center of the screen. Mouse and keyboard also couldn't use. I restart and it became to this situation. Did you watch them over time while the machine was misbehaving/resetting?

Posted by: Highsheep1 on 2024-08-08 09:15:42 What should I do... This is very strange.
