Hi,
I purchased a cheap Mac SE 5011 as I needed to replace the floppy drive in my Mac SE/30.
I'm trying to figure out if this Mac SE can be restored, or which parts can be useful.
The motherboard (820-0250) is in a fairly bad state since the battery leaked. I removed it and cleaned the board. I'm wondering if I should put the motherboard in a little bin filled with isopropyl alcohol. It seems that the capacitors have been changed. I replaced C13 with a 33µF (25V not 16V, is that ok?) as it was damaged.
Some resistors (R5, R7..) and other components surrounding the battery have rust.
When I switch the Mac on, I get a strange horizontal line on the screen. I wonder if this is due to the board or if there's an issue with the screen.
I attached a few photos
- Is there something I can on the board to attempt fixing it (put in isopropyl alcohol container ? replace components?). Except from capacitors and resistors, is it possible to find replacements for most onboard chips such as the P9119M-2 (115-0006), DS26LS32ACN ...?
- Would it be safe to plug my Mac SE/30 working board in the Mac SE to test the screen i.e. is there no risk for the board ?
- Would the opposite also safe to test i.e. connect the Mac SE board in my Mac SE 30 ?
Thanks
