By serial number or other? Is it true that these are the most prone to leaking? That has been my own experience.

What would be the best way to test a glue chip from my sadly battery bombed SE/30 to see if: A) the corrosion which has been cleaned off was enough to destroy it. Looks OK visually.. B) I didn't kill it with my heat gun trying to remove it. Thanks for any help. All I have is a multimeter but...

well I took a chance and lost on this one… Thought you should see this mess though.

I've got a USB drive with a 10.4 Tiger image. It works fine as an install for my Power Mac G4 MDD. Trying to format and install tiger on a new SSD in the PowerBook G4 but the USB disc does not show up at all. It doesn't show up in open firmware mode either under "dev / ls" but as stated, it...

Is it supposed to be blowing air up into the computer or down out of the computer?

Wondering what the prospects of finding one of these are , if they exist or if I should bother trying?

Just realized I ordered several 85C rated caps for a Classic power board recap. Is 105C necessary?

Apparently dead (and free). Will post what I find and hopefully the restore here.

Hi, Is there any hack that would allow a Powerbook G4 12" to boot natively into OS9? Maybe like a reverse XPostFacto utility? Thanks for any info, Steve

Just thought I'd pass this along it works perfectly. Much better SE/30 experience over here. https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mouse2

I have a 1.44mb Drive from an SE FDHD that is acting strangely (I also have a spare 800k that I could take some parts from). I'm pretty familiar with tearing the drives down and yes, the cheese cog has been replaced. Symptoms - The GOOD: - Eject mechanics are working perfecto...Drive is lubed...

Mine works but is kind of dim (brightness buttons are unresponsive) and there's also an occasional vertical line. I see a few videos on YouTube about replacing motherboards but I don't see the point of replacing old failing components with other old potentially failing components. I'm pretty...

Curious if anyone has a recommendation. Mine appears to be blown...thanks.

Just curious. I know I've seen these in alot of SE cases, but I this is the first SE/30 case I've seen with them.

is there a resource somewhere that tells us exactly what goes wrong with these power supplies when they fail? I would much prefer to repair mine if and when it goes rather than try to replace it. I've already replaced one. Thanks for any help.

I guess this is possible with the original rominator. Just curious if it is on the rominator ii as well?

I found something suspicious in my ROM socket (see photo). the board chimes and boots fine but I get no video at all - total blackout. I've been going through potential issues in the video circuit. Is it possible that this is the cause?

I'm trying to understand video issues more clearly. I have an SE/30 board and it chimes and seems to boot, but there is no video output. Occasional static, but usually just completely dark. No simasimac just a blackout with occassional static (see attached video). It is my understanding that if...

I was wondering if there was a best practice for this? How common is it for this to cause continuity issues on the board? i've checked a few and so far no problems.

Maybe I'm late to the party but this thing has completely amazed me today. Not trying to advertise any specific microscope as I'm sure there are comparable ones. I just was not aware this kind of tool was available this cheap...
