    I have a SE30 with LaserWriter from new.
    It is not used anymore but would switch on to check if still OK
    This time I just got jagged line pattern on screen
    It has sentimental value as it was my first business computer
    Does anyone know anyone who might look at it or repair it
    There is a personal LaserWriter with it
    These were groundbreaking machines when first available albeit expensive

    I strongly suggest checking out: https://www.reddit.com/r/VintageApple/ 
    Lots of people there in a similar situation to you.
    From following that subreddit for a while, apparently a lot of the time, some capacitors on the circuit board fail and needed to be replaced (with soldering etc.)
    With respect to who can do it locally, I don't know - you'd need to find a little electronics shop comfortable with knocking these things down.
