I have a 23" Apple Cinema HD Display I'd like to fix. In the middle of the screen the colors are ok, but around the edges the image is very discolored. Gray colors turn pink, and at the very edge of the image is yellowish. The photo does not really show the truth, it is actually much worse...

So same issue if you put them in Bank A (well seated)? In the other thread I linked someone said larger RAM must be placed in Bank A. 

Sounds promising! For some reason my SE/30 won't boot if I install anything in Bank B. So using 64 MB in Bank A only would give me more than enough RAM, and getting around the issues with Bank B. So I was quick to order the Amazon SIMMs above. But then I started to regret it after I found the...

In this thread they’re saying that it’s not possible to run with 4x16 MB in Bank A only. Also Bank B  has to be filled with something. Is this something you have experienced?  

Anyone have advice for a suitable 12 V power brick to use with AppleDesign Powered Speakers II? I don't have the original adapter, and when I try them with the generic 12 V adapters I have laying around, I always get a loud humming noise. If I power them with a ATX bench power supply they are...

Yes, shouldn't the computer boot from ROM, even if floppy and HDD are disconnected? I think so...

I will try this. SetDate crash the computer half of the times I use it.

Ah, thought the "256K" on the ROM was referring to the VRAM, but maybe that's just the ROM size. So are these the VRAM slots?

Maybe I just don't have enough VRAM for more than 2-bit? That's annoying... Edit: should be enough for 16 colors, right?

Oops, I prepared a picture, but forgot to attach it: I don't have the Mac running at the moment, but where do I set the ColorSync profile?

Hi, what kind of monitor do I need to display color with the Radius Pivot SE/30 card? Currently I have an Apple Performa Plus Display (model M9102Z/D) hooked up, and it can only show 2-bit greyscale. The monitor is capable of 16-bit color, but apparently not with this card. I understand from...

My solution for a broken switch :)

I went ahead and swapped the logic board, floppy and HDD over to my other SE/30, and now the display is very bright and nice. I also did some extra scrubbing with IPA and a cotton swab around the sound components, and sound is also back. So until the next thing breaks, I almost consider this Mac...

I vaguely remembered this, but then I couldn't find any information about it. Thanks!

Just wiped the HDD and installed System 7.1, and for some reason I can't set the year to 2020? Up til 2019 is fine, then it skips back to 1920. Anyone knows what that's about? I don't have a battery installed at the moment. I can't recall that I've had this issue on my other Macs.

I think I'll try and move the HDD/floppy/logic board to my other SE/30. I think/hope the screen/analog board/PSU are in better condition on that one. That way the analog board re-cap can be a future project. :)   Just need to clean up some rust first...

I think the drive somehow corrupted all the disks I inserted. The replacement drive works fine now, but I had to re-format the disks. Other disks that I never tried in the faulty drive works fine. But the drives definitely needs a good clean anyway, so I'll bookmark the video, thanks!

I guess going over the analog board and PSU is inevitable. Another issue now is that the floppy doesn't work anymore. It worked when I got the Mac, and it mounted the first floppy I inserted today, but started to behave weird when it was ejected. Now it can't read any disks. I just replaced the...

We have major a breakthrough! So I replaced UJ2, UJ3, UJ4, let the board soak in vinegar for a couple of hours, rinsed it in soapy water and then let it dry over the evening and night. When I just powered it on there was a normal chime (not as loud as the chimes of death I had a week ago), but...

Oh, I didn't know that. I went ahead and changed UJ4 and UJ2 too, but I left the UI chips because they didn't look to bad. I guess I should've change them all when I was on to it... I also understand now that it was a mistake to take the replacements from my other (damaged) LB without knowing...
