So, I need some guidance on how to figure out these issues I'm having with my se/30.
My old SE/30 with a radius pivot color card had leaky caps issues, sound not working screen glitches etc so I had it recapped.
After recap it boots and runs fine until I put the radius card back in. Then I get no boot sound, garbled zebra stripes and nothing else, if I pull the card the issues remain until it has been unplugged for a good half hour or so, then it boots fine again (without the card ofc).
I managed to get it to boot from a GGLabs rom once with a quick power cycle, and it recognised the card in the PDS slot in tech tool, but after reboot with a blue scsi it reverted to the same issues. I don't think there are any issues with the card, especially since the pattern and failure to boot persists for a while even after pulling it out.
Any tips where to start poking around?
Also having intermittent glitches on screen but searching the forum I believe it might be cracks on the joints on the analog board so I need to check that.
I measured the 5v and 12v rails and they are dead stable which leads me to believe the power supply is ok.
RAM/ROM has been reseated. Same issue with GG Labs rom and Original ROM.
