Lines on the SE/30 screen after recapping

Hi,

just done a recapping and the machine starts up properly with a chime and everything seems to be working fine. But there are vertical lines on the screen that were there even before the recapping. Have no idea where to look.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers!

They're every 8 pixels, which means that one bit of each byte of VRAM isn't making it back out again. Probably some damage or corrosion somewhere around the row of chips UA8-UG8, they'te notorious for getting knackered by any corrosion going around.
 
If that's a black and white 1 bit graphics mode, then there's a problem with an 8-bit bus so ignore any buses or chips that are 16 or 32 bits.

It looks like a problem with the 4th pixel from the left.
That is bit 4 (bit 0 is the 8th pixel) for 8-bit buses.
Bit 12 and 4 for 16-bit buses.
Bit 28 and 20 and 12 and 4 for 32-bit buses.

The problem is with the 5th pixel from the right. That is bit 4 for 8,16 or 32 bit buses (since the width of the screen in pixels is usually a multiple of 8 or 16 or 32 pixels).
