Just received my reloaded board. Installed 128mb new ram from Caymac and Garrett's ROM set to 7.1 mode. The mac boots from the original drive fine, I get the happy-mac bong, and the error beep once fully booted and the System Profiler error pops up. ADB is not working on either port, for either...
Have the ZuluSCSI Pico Slim, and just ordered a FloppyEMU....But I already shipped off the board to Caymac a couple weeks ago for his reloaded logic board service. Hopefully get a YT video out of it so I can see what else was wrong. I do have the HDD still and will try opening it up, but only if...
Sigh...
UE8 Pin 15 was open to UG7 Pin 14 at the via next to UE8 Pin 15. Everything else ohmed out. The via wouldn't allow soldering to, so I stuck a short LED leg through it, cut it off and folded over to solder to Pin 15. Now video is perfect, but the HDD doesn't work. It does indeed spin up...
Removed and cleaned. No lifted pads. Same crusted pads as before, but the IC is physically good and completely cleaned it and the pads now. All the vias immediately next to their corresponding pads ping good, and pin 9 pings back to pin 1 fine, and 8 to chassis ground as well.
Will dig into...
Will do, I can see residue from under the chip when under microscope. Need to invest in the components to make a large ultrasonic cleaning basin.
Any tip to safely liquefy the old solder on those small pads? I had to use flux, chipquik, and add new 63/37 just to get the old caps off, and more...
Just reflowed UE8 and the image is intelligible now! Still not proper, but there's hope.
Are these lines indicative of more pins/traces for UE8 still not making good contact, or is there some other path to go down from here before I order and replace the 3 ICs?
Received a couple weeks ago, and video and rest was working, but no audio. The PRAM battery had not exploded, but all of the electrolytic caps had leaked. The only IC with significant corrosion on the legs was UE8. I recapped with parts from DigiKey, and now I get a loud bong (happy mac) on...
