Simasima SE/30 After Recap

[Elfen]

Did the recap on my SE/30. No luck on getting it up and running, it is still a Simasima SE/30.

Reading http://www.biwa.ne.jp/~shamada/fullmac/repairEng.html#SimasiMac , it says that its UB11. How much is this true?

There are some traces that I need to look over, but right now I'm tired. Maybe continue by the weekend.

Simasimac is caused by the system board not able to boot the ROM, or unable to complete ROM boot process. the semasimac actually comes from the initial state of the VRAM. Each brand of VRAM has a different pattern of initial state.

The cause? virtually anything. Stuck/broken data/address bus being the most common cause.

I do not own an oscilloscope, so where should I begin?

Step 1: Send it to Uni

Currently that is not an option for me at this time.
