    Lisa 2/5 Video Board Image Deterioration

    I recently brought my Lisa 2/5 back out of the cupboard to have a tinker during lockdown. Unfortunately after a few minutes the contrast goes very dark and the image starts to shrink on the right hand side. I haven't dared to leave it on long enough for something to go bang... The BU406 is...

    SE/30 burnt ROM socket

    I was in the process of cleaning and recapping an SE/30 logic board which had been subjected to a battery leakage.  I've checked and rerouted all the rotted traces (totalling about 15) between the RAM, ROM, VROM and GLU but when I was satisfied enough to attempt a boot, pin 63 on the ROM burnt...

    Mac SE - Third of screen blurry/lines on screen

    I recently bought and repaired a Mac SE - but whenever it boots, about a third of the screen is blurry. I assumed it was a logic board problem, but testing both the SE board in an SE/30 (which worked fine) and the SE/30 board in the SE (which produced the lines) revealed that it's actually an...
