Hey all! This is my first post here! I recently got a Mac plus and an SE for 40 bucks but the plus is having an issue where I can hear the boot chime come on and the screen lights up but nothing is displayed. I will have a video of the issue. The SE doesn’t make a boot sound and the screen won’t come on but the fans come on and I hear something charging up. Any advice is much appreciated!
Got a tip for us?

Welcome! 
On the Plus, rotate the brightness control all the way back and forth. You'll find it under the screen at the front left.
Otherwise, possibly a bad solder joint on the video pin on the power/sweep board (below pic is with the screen face-down).
