AFAIK, the happy Mac icon should appear over a 50% gray background. As Ian said, only the sad Mac shows in a black background. Maybe your ROMs are broken. I think there is no problem taking out the Plus' ROMs and reading them in a PROM writer. In the case they are broken, there should be no problem to replace them using 27xx EPROM chips burned with the appropiate data. Just make sure to respect the original layout (as the Plus has a 16-bit bus and the 27xx series have a 8-bit bus, surely one chip contains the odd bytes and other the even bytes, you know).
