I’ve acquired a SE/30 board which has no battery or obvious trace damage, which starts up and makes a chime sound but no video output and no signs of it starting up beyond that point.
So far I’ve:
Cleaned board with isopropyl alcohol
Full recap
Replaced ROM/Ram from known working SE/30
Replaced the video rom chip.
Reseated the processor (socketed model)
Tested with a seperate known working crt/analogue board
I’ve had a look over the board and I’m not seeing any obviously damaged traces or bad vias.
Any thoughts on most likely area? I have a spare mostly working board which I can switch out components with but I’m not entirely sure where a logical starting point is.
