Thank you for this. I was loosing my mind trying to get this to work on my Performa 638CD. I was was just going to book from an external SCSI drive.

I have my original Macintosh SE/30 purchased in 1991.  It has lasted a long time.  A few years back I re-capped it and added a new SCSI drive.  It was working fine until today.  I powered it on and nothing.   It seems the fan is the only thing that comes on.   Any idea where i should start in...

Thanks archer174!  That is exactly what I needed!

I'm wondering if anyone has ever done this, and knows the replacement caps needed?

My 80MB Quantum Drive died in my IIfx. I freaked because I know how many SCSI issues I have with it in the past. The only SCSI drives I have on hand were old SCA type connector 4GB drives from old SUN workstations. I found a great 50pin SCSI to 68pin SCA adaptor with terminator on ebay...

In the summer of 1993 I purchased a Macintosh Color Classic. I maxed out the memory, added the FPU, and added VRAM. I used this system for a long time. It has been sitting unused for the last 10 years. A few weeks ago I opened it to discover all of the caps were leaking. I had one try at...

What is the best method for cleaning the board? I have not cleaned it as of yet, just tested to see that it worked.

I have never soldered anything before. I have spent some time lurking these forms, reading recap experiences. I watched a few youtube videos, and read a few websites about soldering SMDs. I went to RadioShack, purchased a dual temp soldering iron, some solder, and a pair of curved tweezers...

thanks for the answer. I was confused, I have 3 SE's and this is the only one I have seen with a soldered battery.

I recently acquired a Macintosh SE (1 MB RAM, 2 800k Disk Drives when shipped). It is in fantastic condition. No yellowing! I has been upgraded with 4MB RAM and a Brainstorm accelerator. I installed system 6.0.8 and it runs like a champ. I noticed the the battery has been soldered to the...
