So I fixed it. When replacing the leaky cap by C24 I lifted the pad off the electrolytic positive pad which I didn’t realize cut the connection to the next component. I bodged a wire from the new tantalum cap to the next component off the trace and now all is well. The pic is before the ripped...
Not sure if my post went thru last time so I will try again. Acquired a IIFX. Replaced batteries. Replaced floppy drive for known working one. Upgraded memory to 64mb (ouch on cost but glad is available). Cleaned board and thoroughly dried on dehumidifier. Installed bluescsi with 5 180mb...
