Are the pins chewed up? The photo is out of focus, I can't quite tell.
Indeed, looks a bit weird, but hard to see on the photo...Are the pins chewed up? The photo is out of focus, I can't quite tell.
Guess you have found the reason why the LB won't work!Yes it appears something got damaged.
Yes it appears something got damaged.
The socket appears in good condition as far as I can tellGuess you have found the reason why the LB won't work!
How does the socket looks like?
You might be able to get yourself a cheap battery leak damaged SE board where the BBU is not affected...
Bob's turnin' around in his graveYikes. Why did they even have the BBU out! It's not exactly a user serviceable part.
Did pretty well.Repair attempt #1 failed. But I must say I think it looks a little nicer (not that it means anything if it doesn't work). Been using a plastic spudger tool with a pointy end to carefully move the pins around.

Yes, it has four sticks of 256k.Note even if you get it right, it is possible that the BBU being mangled like that has toasted it, or something else on the board. Just to warn you.
What RAM do you have in it at the moment? If you haven't cut the resistor you need the 256k SIMMs.
I am sorry for my ignorance but I don't know what the BBU function is .... at first glance it appears that could you could insert it incorrectly though.Sure looks a whole lot better, but I just worry the BBU itself might be toast due to the pins being shorted out or being in the wrong place before...
---edit--- Phipli beat me by a nanosecond
The BBU is many things. It is a load of functionality that was spread through several chips in older macs done better in a single chip.I am sorry for my ignorance but I don't know what the BBU function is .... at first glance it appears that could you could insert it incorrectly though.
