Hi, I have recently transferred all components from a badly battery bombed SE/30 board to the new Reloaded PCB by Bolle.
I’ve gotten to the point where I get a picture, but the graphics are garbled. I have checked all solder joints and can’t find any bad connections (though I may still have missed something).
Otherwise everything essential appears to work:
* chimes on boot.
* displays floppy with blinking question mark, although garbled.
* mouse cursor can be moved, but is also garbled. It also sort of leaves trails behind.
Pressing the interrupt switch causes a sad Mac with an error code, but it’s impossible to read due to the garbled graphics.
What could be the cause of this particular style of problem? Bad video buffer ram or multiplexers? (All the F258s are new, but I reused the F253s)
Any suggestions on where (and how) to start trouble shooting?
