Glad to hear you got it back up and running, Techknight! After hearing how it went *poof* after you'd had it running, I resolved to not turn mine on again until I fixed it. Any chance you could indicate the affected capacitors on a photo, or on a screen grab from your video? Do you happen to...

Wow, bibilit -- that's definitely the same issue! I'll watch the follow-up repair video; thanks! *edit* the second video in the series does a great job of getting to the probable root of the problem, but no actual repair is completed to confirm, due to needing parts. I wonder if Techknight...

That's the first thing I tried. Adjustments in the back are: -Vertical Position -Horizontal Position -Vertical Size Vertical and Horizontal position adjustments move the picture as expected, but do not affect the distorted geometry. Vertical size adjustment will adjust the size of the...

Hi All, Apologies if this is in the wrong category. Received a 12" RGB Display today, and the picture geometry is distorted. I've attached two images - one was shot vertically, and one was shot horizontally. Basically: the picture balloons out wider in the middle, there's a bright horizontal...

That's what I'm afraid of..   :-/  

That is interesting, Elfen, and something to look for - but in my case the internal drive and the exteral drive both work properly (reading and writing) when connected to a different mac.

I finally got the time to change out the Bourns filter at RP10. Man, what a hassle that was. It's in a really tight spot. Anyways, it appears to have had very little effect. The system still freezes on attempt to intialize a floppy - sometimes it'll throw a bomb error and restart. I know...

A correction: I actually have installed PaperPort 3.5 software; PaperPort control panel is 3.5.3 from the Visioneer website.

I picked up a Visioneer PaperPort at a local electronics shop - just the scanner, no power supply and no software. I'm currently using a Canon power supply (20v 2.2a) to power it - it makes a startup buzz/humm when connected to power, which I am given to understand is expected. I've hooked it...

Nice work!

An update: After a week or so of relatively smooth and stable use, I'm pretty sure that problem 2b (regular, frequent pausing) was due to an extension, "VNC Patches", which was on the SE/30 when I got it. I think that 2a is a simple matter of non-32-bit-clean software. Still waiting to get...

Regarding Problem 1, I've checked continuity on all of the traces coming off of the SWIM, and I can't find anything amiss, so I'm regarding the bourns filter as suspect for now, and will have to wait for a replacement. In the  meantime, I'm at a loss regarding Problems 2a and 2b. The logic...

Well, last night I gave the board a 20min soak in hot soapy water, then a scrub-down, then a rinse. After putting it back together today and turning it on... no change at all. I'm still in the same position as in my first post upthread. At least I didn't break anything!

Alright, I gave it a nice hot soapy scrub, rinse and air-blast. You weren't kidding about the water tenaciously hiding everywhere! I'm going to let the board dry overnight before I put it back in, just in case. I'll report back tomorrow.

I didn't give the board an overall scrub, just spot cleaning in areas where there was obviously some cap goo. I have been suspecting that there's some goo underneath some of the ICs - I'll have to give the board a more thorough clean and see what that does. Any notable difference between the...

Hi all, I posted here a while ago about a SCSI problem with my SE/30, which I managed to resolve. Since then I’ve replaced the surface-mount capacitors (haven’t received replacements for the axials yet), and given the board another swabbing with alcohol - sound is back. Having used the SE/30...

Well, I ran a bridge over from the SCSI chip to the point I indicated on the board - success! It boots right up now. Thanks for the advice, and thanks to the forum - reading the threads on here about similar problems made it possible for me to do this repair myself.  Next step is replacing caps!

Nope, haven't changed the caps yet. I know it's an issue because it doesn't bong on boot, and sound is really quiet from the speaker jack. I'm not really confident in my ability to do so... I'm somewhat inexperienced, especialy with regards to desoldering on circuit boards, and afraid of...

Hi there. This is my first post on this board, but I've already used the information in threads here to narrow down my problem. I recently picked up an SE/30 from a local shop, super cheap ($25). It boots from floppy just fine. It will boot from its hard disk into System 7.5.X and load all...
