I have a recently-acquired SE/30 here... Wouldn't boot, no surprise. C2 had spewed electrolyte all over the surrounding chips (especially UE10 and UD8). Cleaned that up the best I could, replaced UD8 (pin 1 had disintegrated) and recapped the board. Got the interesting symptoms shown in the attached pictures, which I traced back to A0 at UD4 (pin 4) having a broken trace somewhere.
In the process of tracking that down, I also noticed that A0 was broken right next to the pad on UE10 (the ASC chip). With a bodge wire installed to fix A0 on UD8, the video problem is resolved, but if I fix the broken trace on UE10, the system no longer boots at all. Any thoughts on anywhere else I should look, or is this likely just UE10 being dead?
I also attached a picture of that region of the board before any bodge wires were installed.
Thanks!
