Hi everyone, I have an SE/30 which was reported to have a working PSU and the logic board had its caps pulled off ready for new ones. The board has had its video ROM chip, RAM and ROM SIMM reseated, board was washed and new caps have been installed.
I have checked the continuity of all the caps and they appear to be connected to the board properly. Also checked Fuse 1-3 and they are OK.
When turned on, fan runs, HDD seems to make a starting noise but screen stays off and chime doesn't happen. The machine does appear to react to the reset button though, and when turned on, the connected keyboard LEDs flash once. PSU cable on the logic board end was used to test PSU, 5v, 12v, -12v and -5v tested fine.
Wondering what I should do, I dont know what chips and traces need testing for this sort of issue.
