Yep, replacing UE8 worked. Was a bit grubby under there but tidied up nicely, even if I did knick a trace with the scalpel...

Morning all. I've had a CC logic board sent in for repair and I can see some damage to the foxconn connector at J13 as per images. Anyone come across this before and have a good method of repair?

Thanks :) I've ordered one in and will replace.

Yup, that's already been done :)

This particular machine is working fine with other logic boards installed, and I'm getting correct voltages. No doubt a good idea to do as you suggest regardless, and I should really recap that analog board too...

Thanks for the link!!! I'm very grateful. I'd read somewhere that Farnell had some but hadn't been able to find an exact product code match. Your link helped with that and that same part number is also stocked by mouser so I've been able to place an order there tacked on to another one for free...

If you mean J12 then yes. it’s always worth doing even if no evidence of cold solder.

I appreciate the advice and would have at least tried that given the apparent damage but sadly I have no 74LS166’s spare. Would you happen to know what the equivalent chip is from divikey or mouser? Neither stock the original any more but do have options that sound similar. I’m just not sure I...

Hiya. I've begun working on an SE/30 logic board that wouldn’t boot (no chime, no video output etc), clear signs of cap leakage near UE8 with mild damage to some traces under many of the caps - just exposed wire so I re-masked prior to recapping to make sure solder didn’t join things it...
