Please help!!!   I have an old mac(bought in 1984) that I had fixed up to 512.
It is so old that I don't want to spend much money fixing it.  I want to try
fix it myself.  Here's the problem:

I had left the computer on for a day.  There was a book sitting on top of it.
When I returned to the room, hours later, there was a funny smell and a
wirring(buzzing) noise.  I looked at the screen and there was a bomb box.  I
turned the computer off and then on again and the beep sounded, disk drive ran
and the finder booted up and everything seemed fine--except that the screen
had shrunk sideways and there was a narrow strip down the middle that showed
the desktop.

I turned the computer off for a few hours, tried it again, but this time I got
nothing but the wirring noise.  No beep, no diskdrive noise.

Any ideas?


Thank you very much.
