turns out aluminum foil isn't that good at blocking heat 😅

you ever accidentally use your heat gun on a powerbooks screen? I just did

I finally bought a new cpu and it works! It’s a 120mhz cpu so it’s a downgrade but i still have 448mb of ram.

I have not recapped it yet since i’m working on recapping my SE right now but i replaced the pram battery.

Maybe it’s time for a recap

I have been using my Mac LC once every few days, and today when i went to turn it on the color was gone. Everything is B&W and i can no longer change the color of the display. Any ideas on what’s happening? I tried reseating and cleaning the ram and vram, and booting the mac from a hard drive...

It's been a while since i read over all of this. My bad. Will try a new CPU

Thank you for your advice, and il keep practicing. EDIT: soaked the board in vinegar for 2 hours and then a hour of IPA. for 20...

Reverted. Bridged a chip on accident

Got some fresh solder and set my iron to 400c and reheated some chips. Reseated the vram. This is the new output on the screen.reheated the row of 7 chips in the 3rd photo and the cluster of 6 chips in the 2nd

Sorry, had some bad wording. Put the motherboard of the SE/30 inside my working SE to test it with a working analog board and power supply.
