Yes. My retro computing club had a very loud "WTF!" moment.

Found the culprit Yes that's the soldering that has completely failed from the ribbon cable to the pcb where the keyboard socket is😮 No I've never seen that before either. Weird.

no, sadly. I can make the three led's light up as if its detected but no nothing works.

So I'm having an issue with one of my ADB II keyboards. One of the ADB sockets doesn't work. But it seems to not actually be the socket at fault. The ribbon cable is loose at the Keyboard PCB connector end. Theres lateral movement of the cable. Pic below: Connection of white socket is rock...

So. I have had the machine back now for over a month. Scope creep lol (Somewhat Expensively) Some of that was my fault because, yeah tinkering. I have learned lesson. Spec As before : 128Mb ram, Bluescsi V2 with 16GB SD card, Various System Builds 7.01/7.5.5/8.1, Caymac 8mb ROM with BMOW...

Yes I know, I need to finish the write up of my brother's SE30 restore thread... job for the weekend. Anyway having been somewhat bitten by the bug after having that machine, I decided I wanted one of my own. Not wishing to endure the pain or expense of a compact I managed to get hold of a...

Hullo rodders! Well I'm here because of my Brother's SE30. Having been bitten by the bug, I now have two II ci, plan is to fix one flog one. As you can probably tell, I've a few Acorns - Listed in signature. Including A3010 Risc PC and R260. Best of luck with the restore.

Caymac 4 and 8mb simms. Purplerom 2mb

Already done. HDA file so drop on Bluescsi https://mega.nz/file/zNcjRBJZ#NflIgLGg73zxNHLJ_CBOjfOFqhvhz3klq1KkQEh6v6A Not mine but its what I use. Works on a standard SE30. I mooed my accelerator so its away getting fettled and fixed (I hope . Blue SCSI Image. I've just booted it so it...

This is why I got you to do the SE/30. Not yer forklift levels of shorting but even this going bzzt I'd crap myself !! :oops:

Me neither. I was just trying to illustrate that original ROM's come up every now and again. Personally, I'd have no qualms about replacing with a custom or later ROM, but some folk crave "originality".

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226071362258 -SE30 Rom uk ebay. Not mine. Another thought. But you run the risk of "oldstuff not work". But then as I say they're pretty robust, I still have the IIfx rom my brother got donkeys years ago.

I can program that for you if you like. . Or I can program the simm I have spare. Up to you ? Where are you located ? This is what I have

I have a ROM SIMM Programmer I also have a 2mb Purple ROM SIMM spare. What size is your GG LAbs SIMM? The nerfy thing might be location. I am in the UK. I ALSO have a genuine Mac IIFX simm that my brother used to boot his 128MB SE30 - I know its not standard BUT... Oh yeah and I have the SE30...

Ouch The SE30 you've done for me was originally 110v. There's a story there which I forgot but yours has just reminded me. I was with brother when he'd just unpacked his shipping containers coming home to Scotland from USA in about 1990 and was showing me some stuff. My ten year old self got...

Agreed, have just gone through similar with brother's SE30. Burn in can only really be fixed by replacement of CRT. AB recap is recommended, and solder joint reflow. If still on original PSU, that too. Wobbles can be power glitches, and brightness can be improved to a point but the CRT is...

Wouldn't hurt if you can (y) I don't plan on pulling it apart very often, but every little helps. 😉

Would these work on se30 ?? Nm, I've seen that they do..... meh lol.

Oof. That's like the stuff I've been faffing about with on rpi's. ie gimpy.
