Hi everyone!
Some time ago, I got a SE/30 that someone gave away. Only thing I know about its history is that it "stopped working". Back then, it showed horizontal bars and chimes of doom (very quiet). A few days back I've opened it for the first time. Everyting was quite corroded from moisture.
Well, I cleaned everyting, removed the corrosion as good as I could and exchanged the capacitors (with tantalum ones). Chimes of doom will play louder now, but I'm still stuck with horizontal stripes and chmes of doom.
I think I can rule out RAM and ROM because I've tried it with RAM and ROM from a working SE/30 with no change in symptoms.
I also checked the ICs and none of them seems to be getting particular hot.
Any idea what else I could try? xx( xx( xx(
