Hi All,
I have a Mac SE/30 that I picked up. Started up fine a few times but after about a week it started up with a blank screen and a bright horizontal line. Also not boot noise on power up.
So, based on lots of advice I have recapped BOTH the analog board and the motherboard.
Now when i turn power on, i get the boot sound but still the horizontal line.
I did some further research and here I found some info: https://wiki.preterhuman.net/Macintosh_SE/30#Replacement_Tantalum_Capacitors_.28logic_board.29
I checked the P1 connector on the analog board and also reflowed each point. Same problem.
So, it loos like it's the U2 chip that's faulty. I purchased a chip (TDA1170N chip from France) and awaiting delivery. In the mean time I'm trying to work out where the U2 chip actually is as I can't see on motherboard or analog board.
So, can anyone actually show me a pic of where the U2 chip is?
Any other advice for issues I should consider too?
Thanks
Sonny
