Hey all,
I finally acquired one of my white whales, a non-battery bombed SE/30. Upon getting it open and running, it would chime, albeit very softly, and if you pressed the reset button, would instantly error out to a sad Mac message, as shown below:
It of course had some capacitor leakage, so I replaced all the caps on the analog board, Sony CR-44 power supply, and the logic board. I first removed the old SMD electrolytics on the logic board, then scrubed it with 91% IPA and left it to soak overnight. Then dryed it in the morning, continued with recapping and inspecting the board.
