Hi maybe some one can help
I have 2 SE/30s both have been idle for over a year, the SimasiMac one did boot over a year ago, I had a little trouble with SimasiMac back then but after a few boots its started up ok. I knew I would have to do the caps which I did last week. I also spotted a bit of battery leak, so that has been cleaned up and replaced. Even after replacing all the caps I still get SimasiMac. The Memory has been tested on an LCII and checks out fine, this memory was originally in it when it did boot fine. 3.6V Battery is new.
The other one, must the same story as the first, but with jailbars. The odd thing is it bongs and boots from HD but the screen still has jailbars. Some times they are rolling jailbars (left to right/fast) At first I thought it was a bad analog board, but I have used an se board to verify that I get clean video. So the problem lies on the motherboard. I have replaced the caps on this board also, but made no change. Again the memory has been verified. 3.6V Battery is new.
I would be happy getting one going between the two and my theory is that the video section of the second one is damaged in some way, but I dont have the pinouts of the SE video connector to do a trace back.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks
