Dear all,
it must have been around 2011 that I started recapping my SE/30. I don't know why I did that in the first place, whether because recapping is a good thing anyway, I discovered capacitor leakage or the Mac had already stopped working back then.
There is already an ancient thread regarding that matter (https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/se-30-solder-pad-problems-while-capacitor-exchange.23458/). There, I reported that after finishing recapping, I got the "bright vertical stripe" symptom. I understand that this is not a logic board issue. I will investigate that another time.
I own a second SE/30 in working condition which I took to test my recapped logic board. And indeed, it is "working" in a sense that it produces the "Horizontal stripes" symptom.
(Symptom names taken from the Japanese "Repair Macintosh SE/30" page https://web.archive.org/web/20120614023138/http://www.biwa.ne.jp/~shamada/fullmac/repairEng.html)
I already installed the pull-up resistor for the sound chip as suggested by that website.
What to do next? I'm slightly clueless, I already picked a continuity checker and double-checked whether all caps have connection to the respective pinouts on the board.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
