HELP WITH Macintosh SE/30 Horizontal Line

[sadmanonatrain]

Earlier in the year I E-mailed the Mac Smith chap about fixing my 512K 'board and I did not get a response.

I hope it works for you!

Honestly, even if it does mean shipping across the pond, you'd be a fool to go to anyone but Uni and a select few others on this board for that kind of repair.

Elfen is correct. I sent my board from Sweden. It's more expensive to ship from SE->US than the other way around though. Rarely takes more than 5 days for stuff to arrive, all in all it took me 4 weeks from sending it to getting it back =)

My board, in my fathers SE/30 from my childhood, was damaged by the dreaded exploding battery and I figured I'd just make things worse if I attempted repairs on my own. I ended up spending a lot more than I would have liked when I started out (bad chips and traces along with the work involved from both uni and tk), but I certainly got my moneys' worth - and not only for nostalgic reasons. 

Coincidentally I was gifted a working SE/30 system in the meantime. The board of that machine is actually less stable than the repaired one I got back. I'm tempted to send it for a simple recap in the future (despite shipping costs), even though that's something I should be able to pull off myself.

No regrets.

shipping to uni wouldn't be that bad, about £15 for Royal mail international tracked + signed, and even less if you went with a non tracked service

and his work is amazing, I brought my LC II from him and it looks like it came with it's tant / ceramic caps from the factory

I had the same problem (bright horizontal line) and resolved it by replacing the PALs. I posted more information here: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?thr...ip-not-analog-board-related.39754/post-558154

I know. I'm doing it because if someone else has the same problem (like I did) and comes across this thread in a search (like I did) they'll have a link to a possible solution instead of a dead end.

I, for one, appreciate when people close out an old thread like this. It saves a lot of extra search time.
