    SE/30 - Somasi Mac (after recapping)

    Located in Raleigh, NC I agree with UE8. The legs aren’t crumbling but they aren’t very pretty either

    SE/30 - Somasi Mac (after recapping)

    Another update, I went ahead and removed that UD8. Most of the legs disintegrated when touched after all. Removing the chip shows damage to pads 1, 2, and 11. i don’t feel comfortable attempting a fix with my novice skills, so if anyone knows someone who can soldier on a new UD8 for me, I’d...

    SE/30 - Somasi Mac (after recapping)

    I've searched the chip number 74F253 and found three on Mouser that are surface mount...not too sure what the difference between these are. EDIT: Comparing the datasheets of the two top chips below (the two they have in stock), all pages of the datasheets are completely identical. The product...

    SE/30 - Somasi Mac (after recapping)

    After soaking in 70% isopropyl alcohol for only an hour (going to let it soak for at least a few more hours), it has really brought out how bad UD8 is. It really brought out the damage, so I want to say UD8 is my culprit. I’ll have to look into maybe finding someone to replace it. If anyone...

    SE/30 - Somasi Mac (after recapping)

    I did, but just to be sure, I just removed the ROM and RAM chips and I have it soaking in 70% isopropyl alcohol in a plastic container, we will see if that helps anything! Does anyone know of someone on here that would be willing to replace UD8 and maybe UE8?

    SE/30 - Somasi Mac (after recapping)

    The pins are definitely very corroded...one was broken on UD8 and I tried to reconnect it to the pad. Maybe that chip is just toast at this point. I don't think I have the soldering skills or proper tools to really replace that chip though, maybe i'll have to send my board to someone for full...

    SE/30 - Somasi Mac (after recapping)

    Do you know how I would check that and what voltages I should be getting?

    SE/30 - Somasi Mac (after recapping)

    Oh interesting! Good info! Maybe I do have some bad ram then, who knows!    no chime/sound, I should gave mentioned that! I’ll attach a photo of the screen (ignore the tiny happy Mac taped to it haha, it’s stored on my desk at work)

    SE/30 - Somasi Mac (after recapping)

    Hello all! First post on here. I found a free SE/30 in my area and have been trying to repair it. It had leaky caps so I recapped them (I’m not the best at soldering, but I can get by). The one cap (C4) took its pads and some trace with it, so I found the schematic and wired a replacement cap...
