Here is the reason. Recently, I was able to get a Macintosh SE that was ready to be disposed. I was in love with the little one so I took it home. I cleaned it, opened it and un-dusted it. This is what I know so far: It has 1MB RAM, one 800 K drive and a 20SC hard disk. The keyboard and mouse are original. I turned it on and the speakers worked, the screen turned on, and the mouse worked. The monitor shows the disk drawing with the question mark blinking. I'm not an expert in computers but I would like to explore the possibility of fixing it. Any suggestions on where should I start?
