And here's some pics of the actual boards themselves. For me, the fault seemed to happen near C427 on the small green board.

I don't think I found anything resembling a teardown when I did it. I just kept going at all the screws I found until it was apart. One thing is that I think you don't need to take the base off the monitor in order to take the CRT out. I found that out after, but I think the screws in the back...

Nope! And my advice to you is to avoid powering it up until you do! My display actually died about a month after making that post. I traced the thing that killed it to capacitor juice shorting something in the small daughterboard in the faraday cage (I think it was connected to the neck board)...

Do you have some pictures you can share of the problem areas? Generally, battery acid will eat the traces and break continuity instead of conducting electricity (though capacitor electrolyte can and does do both). As you said, a possibility is that since the SE/30 board is 6 layers, something...

Hey now, I love my other macs - Especially my SE30, Classic, and G3 minitower. They all serve some kinda purpose. But yeah, especially with the 040, the IIci is kinda awesome to use. Highly recommend.

IIci with Bolle's 040 accelerator, and System 7.5.3

Maybe? I might try Photoshop 4 (I've used photoshop 3, albeit on IRIX, and it was kind of a pain to use, so I'm a bit sour on it). To be honest though, I'm looking for the closest Mac Analog to DeluxePaint on Amiga, to do pixel-style (or at least nonaliased) art. Looking it up, Studio/8 or...

Looking for a drawing program that can run on a System 7 68040 that supports color, and hopefully some kind of swatch system, as well as an undo history. Also, I'm NOT looking for a vector editor (like Illustrator) What program best fits the bill? I've already tried Painter 4 and Kid pix but...

Wow, that logic board is pretty lucky! I wouldn't be surprised if it works after a good cleaning and cap replacement. Sanding the rust off the chassis is a PITA but it's way better than building a reloaded board. Also, that dongle is super cool! I have a modern version of that with the RGB2HDMI

Looks like the IIsi I have. Good luck getting that thing fixed, as others have said, the reloaded board is your best hope.

It's not. That's absurdly petty.

Works! Thanks for the help.

I don't believe I do, so I'll get that installed and report back.

I don't have any extensions disabled on my system, but at the same time I don't see any speech extensions, either.

@greystash I've been trying to install version 2.4 on my Beige G3 running Mac OS 8.6, and while the install/update script seems to work great and I can download the file right there on the machine, when I try to open the app it says it's unable to due to "SpeechLib" not being found. I'm not sure...
