I haven't had a similar experience, but the first things to check would be to make sure all of your solder connections are clean and you aren't possibly bridging anything on any capacitor. sounds like something is delaying 10 seconds to address something else on the board… once it finds it...

yeah, I tried deoxit… Still nothing

yeah, it does come apart and I've tightened the contacts and cleaned up everything. Re-inserted the tips several times.… No dice.

Well I loved this Pinecil for a year and suddenly it doesnt detect the tip anymore? anyone ever seen this problem or know how to fix it?

I can only confirm that 8 of these fit perfectly and have been woriking with no problems for about a year in my SE/30. https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/30PS16MB/

Not sure if you checked this out, but this saved four out of four disk drives for me.

I'd recommend these also... https://www.tindie.com/products/siliconinsider/macbatt-cr2032-pram-apple-macintosh-battery/ https://www.bigmessowires.com/mac-rom-inator-ii/

Filled it up with 8 of these (128mb). They've been great. https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/30PS16MB/

That's the right link, yes. So go with 25v Polymer Tantalums (and that one little 50v) Here's a link to what I used. These have been perfect. https://www.mouser.com/ProjectManager/ProjectDetail.aspx?AccessID=33371c761b

Also and possibly most important, use 25v polymer tantalum capacitors rather than 16v. JDW made a good video explanation of why this is a better idea but I can't find the link. I used 25v polymer tantalums as he recommended and I've had no issues at all with my SE/30.

Very good news! Looks relatively clean. Yeah, be careful with the simm slots. Should one break, I know some people recommend using a little hot glue at the edge of the slot. UE8 looks pretty good and you said you have no video issues so that should be fine. Things do look a little funkier by the...

that's very helpful to know. Thank you.

you're probably right. I think I was trying 3.5.6 and it told me it required 7.0, and later.

As far as I can tell, Workstation 3.5 is system 7 only.

well, again, just knowing you won't have to worry about it for another 15 or 20 years, at least… that's good enough for me. To each their own. I also just enjoy recapping those and find it the simplest part of a full restore. Surely there is a little bit of OCD going on in this hobby in general...

OK to each their own but I say if you've got the skills to replace the logic board surface mounts, there's no reason to not replace the 30+ year-old caps on the analog board. All the components are pretty far away from each other comparatively and JDW's mouser cart is about $20 i think. I...

thank you so much!

yes, thanks. As stated earlier, just trying to get files over to the SE .. which has a spinning disk drive... and you are absolutely correct that I have no idea what I'm doing...YET!

Sounds like the hard drive to me. If so, that would be good news because you'll probably want to replace that with a bluescsi or similar anyway. If it's booting, things can't be too bad in there. Just get that PRAM battery out, clean it up and replace the logic board capacitors. You'll want to...
