I have that problem all the time, especially with my Rev A. Drives me nuts, but I can usually reset them without opening up the case. I replaced one of the buttons with a wooden dowel whittled down to fit. That doesn't slip off anymore.

I stick to “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” policy. It worked perfectly before, so nothing needed fixing.

So, I really screwed up. Sometime in early December I used my IIc and when I was done I turned it off, and then didn’t look at it or go anywhere near it until a couple days ago, when I noticed I forgot to turn the monitor off. Ugh. It sat there cooking away for over a month. It worked perfectly...

I have been using my ROM 255 IIc with ProTerm 3.1 and a WiModem232 to connect to BBSes for a while now with no problems. Yesterday I upgraded it to ROM 4x so I could connect a SmartPort hard drive to play Nox Archaist. Now when I disconnect from a BBS, the computer freezes up until I toggle...

I used a super cheap micro SD extension for years in my SE/30 from China I got off of ebay, no problems. I only took it out recently after I moved the computer and snapped the end off of the micro SD card. Shoulda backed that card up. 

Okay, I dropped the RAM down to 20 MB from 32, and now it works fine, even in 32-bit mode. I guess it is having a problem with addressing memory above a certain point. Could that be a problem with the ROM?

I tried different ram. No change.

Completely recapped, and I have a scsi2sd in it. This has been a reliable workhorse until now. There was a video card in the slot that came with the computer when I got it years ago. I never used it, just left it in because it was there. So I replaced that with the network card. The chimes now...

So a bit of playing around, and it does this whether or not the Asante card is in, and it only does the weird startup with 32-bit is enabled. 

I am having a weird problem with my SE/30 and an Asante ethernet card... I know the ethernet card works, as I it was working in the SE/30 I pulled it from (the SCSI chip failed on that one, and I don't have the skills to replace it). When I put it in my other SE/30, I the normal chord and a...

My SE/30 is pale yellow and my SE is red. 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, there is something off with the power supply. From a cold start is just sort of pulses -- fan, light, everything, until it warms up or something, then it runs.  I could re-cap it and see if that fixes it, or I could just pull it out and replace it with a new 12v Molex power supply from...

Screen seems to be working better now that I’ve fiddled with it. It is still always blank on first start, but one push of the reset button fixes that. The button pusher I whittled out of a bit of dowel ended up working much better than the original plastic one. I may end up whittling replacement...

I set the SCSI ID jumpers.  Could it be a termination issue? The Ultradrive has a terminator on the second SCSI port, and I didn’t check the termination settings on the drive. I think the default settings are termination on drive.
