Hi,
My SE/30 started to show the "simasimac" lines last week. It displayed them for 6-8 minutes after which it gave the beep and started up normally. Reading about this told me that it was time for a re-cap.
so i recapped my SE/30 today after receiving a recap-kit yesterday. It was somewhat tedious (i'm no fan of surface mount) but went mostly ok. "Mostly" meaning everything EXCEPT for the tiny 1µf - 50V where i accidentally managed to lift one of the solder pads.
The machine now starts up immediately and i can't detect any issues despite this tiny cap not being connected. Or what am i missing here? What would be the potential problem of running without this in place?
