I gave up for the moment on my Classic, and started on one of my my SE/30s. It had no startup chime, no drive activity, and the screen showed the simisimac pattern. I recapped with the Console5 set and cleaned the board with 99% IPA. It's not the neatest soldering job I've ever seen, but everything looks clean and the connections seem solid. On powerup, I now get a startup chime, a grey desktop and a cursor that responds to the mouse! However, there's still no drive activity, and I don't get a floppy with a question mark. I tried cleaning the floppy drive (with a cleaning floppy and IPA), but the spins for a couple of seconds and stops. No ejecting or anything else.
What should I do next, troubleshooting-wise? I've got another SE/30 that does boot, although it needs an analog and logic board recap, as it's got a vertical stripe pattern on the screen. Should I try swapping that HD into the recapped one, or is that just asking for trouble if there's something else wrong with the recapped board?
