So sorry that I will be no help at all, other than a supportive, "Man! That is really cool!" Even if you haven't got it quite working yet. I've been looking into working up some memory modules for a Zenith laptop (someday), but I'm still doing research on it.

Thanks for taking a look and passing that on - I tried looking for the part and only came back with a few hits that were remotely close and those were buried French and Russian docs that still did not seem to indicate what they were. I did not think to look in the schematics for the classics...

I couldn't help picking up another SE, largely because of some of the accompanying items that came with it. I did not initially power it up because even though it was sold with pictures of the screen working (albeit with a fault code) it was going to require a lot of work to get it ready and I...

I thought that I was the only one doing this! :cool: ...and I take a couple pictures and until I replace the caps, I keep the old ones in a plastic bag, attached to the board with painters tape (usually including a quick status note as well) I didn't always do it this way, but funny thing -...

I may have missed it in the Youtube video associated with this Reddit post, but the miniscribe that is on the card, although plugged into power and technically plugged into a data cable, is still not plugged into a slot and so does not have an active controller connection, when it spins, so that...

That's too bad, but the very reason that I asked. I got a similar one with mine (from the original owner) and it was DOA and at the time I was unable to source a replacement fan for it. That was a few years back, so maybe its time to take another look at it.

Very nice! And great that it has a 'chiller' too. (does the fan work ok?)

I have no need for this right now, but using the spudger is a brilliant idea for when you can't get your hands on the precise tool. Sorry - didn't mean to interrupt the flow, carry on! :cool:

I just did this too! Way too easy with this board, since there are multiple variants and the board has some vague silk-screening (no plus sign and the pos lead was diagrammed over a cutout in the board. I had this happen while re-capping my classic to address a 'wobbly' screen with low...

I just saw this - Brilliant, and very cool. Other than the fact that my brain (and I don't know why!) immediately went to the ICP song line about '...Magnets how do they work?' I'm still laughing...

Wow! That looks more battery bombed than cap affected. If my brother told me what the eBay seller told you and I saw that, I'm not sure I would believe it. I'm not disputing you, but what you were told and /or shown. I'm just suspicious of the location, pattern and look of the damage and...

Thanks for the reply and additional insight. I've pulled those caps (again) and I am taking another look at that area this weekend.

Now THAT's bloody clever!

I have an SE FDHD that would not boot (known bad analog board - unknown what was wrong) and I came across this last night on a search and on a whim, thought, "Hey I'll check that out..." and I cannot believe it, but this same filter had one leg disconnected on my board as well! I removed the...

First, this is an SE/30 that I have had for a really long time and it was one of my first ones that was re-capped and retro-brited so very, very long ago. Also, although I recall it working well following the re-cap, in the intervening years a lot of things went wrong with this particular...

That is so nice looking, and you took such great care in disassembling it! I have an orange DV (also in the box) and I dread the day I have to recap it. I did not enjoy changing out the battery earlier this year and there are SO many caps in your picture! Where did you get the list for...

I might need a little more sleep, since I laughed quite a bit longer than I should have at that... :)

Thanks for the report out. I am going to be looking after mine eventually and just wanted to know what I would be in for, so thank you very much. Can you imagine the alternate universe where young Steve did not have one of these in his bedroom, keeping him up all night and did not grow up...

Was it easy to take apart - (I guess not, any hints)? Did you use someone's list for the caps or did you order them once you had it opened and checked them out? If you put together your own list, could you share it, along with the model number of the PSU?
