I have a Quadra 610 that I recently acquired, and while getting the case cleaned up and ready to go has been fine, for whatever reason, the board is being problematic.
While the Power Supply does need to be recapped, (which I will get to momentarily), it seems to put out healthy voltages, and they don't drop under load, despite the fact that the PSU usually needs a minute to turn on for the first time after being plugged in.
Nevertheless, the board is dead, but in a way I would appreciate advice diagnosing, as on startup, the only thing I get is a speaker pop, a power LED, some heat from the 68040, and LEDs over ADB. But that's it. No chime, display, or disk activity, it just halts. Granted, when I first got this system, it did have some moderately bad cap leakage, all of which I cleaned up, and I already removed all of the caps, but right now with no caps, no gunk on the board, and no visible damaged traces, it's just completely dead. While I do suspect there is a possibly a bad solder pad or lack of a CPU clock signal somewhere, I am not completely sure how to being diagnosing this problem, as a I don't have a visual reference as to where on the board to probe with a Multimeter to start checking for problems, and I haven't spent the time to yet to hunt down a good quality schematic myself for the 610 to figure out where the ultra vital connections actually exist.
Also, as for the Power Supply, I was just going to go somewhere like Console5 for a cap kit for it, but no matter where I look, I cannot actually find a cap kit that caters to my 610's specific PSU, as both the sticker on the outside of the PSU and the silkscreen on the internal PSU boards say it's a "TDK" power supply. No indication anywhere of any part of it being made by Dynacomp or Astec, and nowhere on the internet seems to have any information on recapping this supply from what I can find. In case it helps anybody, the only useful leading information that I could see on this supply is that its Model # is MSE103, and the Apple Part # is 614-0022.
Any leads I can get on this machine would help a lot! I really want to get this one working, especially because this is my first 68040 machine, it's not in too bad of shape, and it's as of now showing at least some notable signs of life, even if they aren't super signficiant.
