Hi!
So I aquired a SE/30. It was known to be in a "not working" condition but I thought I'd take it on. It has a poor (but still) recap done to it (soldering skills from the previous owner wasn't exactly "top notch"). I've fixed a couple of bad soldering points and I think that the recap is kind of working now. When I start the machine it chimes and soon the picture with stripes comes up. The harddisk doesn't seem to boot but I'm not sure if that is becuase it's defective or simply not formatted. The floppydrive seems to be able to read my 800K system disks and when I boot up the machine I can see that it recognizes the full amount of memory installed (8MB).
I've tried attaching a picture of the issue but there is a problem when uploading the image. I will try a little bit later and see if it works then.
If anybody has any idea of what to look for I would appreciate som advice.
Thanks!
