    Mac SE speaker broken? Also some screen issues.

    Hi, I've recently purchased a Mac SE. I thought I would have to recap the logic board (I've never recapped anything before so was somewhat scared of that), but it looks to me as though the board might already be recapped. As you can see in the attached photo, all the caps are these new-looking...
