I finally got a working logic board for my SE/30 (thanks @mg.man), so now it's time to tackle the rest of the gremlins. I bought this machine a couple years ago with a badly damaged logic board and it's been collecting dust since then. When I first got it it would power on to the checkerboard screen, and I don't remember the screen being dim at the time, but I don't remember for sure. When I turn the brightness knob on the front all the way up I can barely see the image. I tried turning up the brightness adjustment on the analog board, when I turned it all the way up the screen didn't get any brighter, though the white lines did appear on the otherwise dim image. The same white slightly diagonal lines you would normally see if you turned the brightness knob up too far.
I do have a dead Classic II that I can rob the CRT and/or flyback from if need be, but I would rather not just start throwing parts at it. Could this potentially be an analog board issue?
Thanks
