@SophieRose What's your method for this, are you using a hot air station? Looks like you did a very clean removal.

Thanks, yeah hot air station to remove with plenty of flux and then I'll repair the tracks with mod wire when required and I'll solder the ICs back on with a fine soldering iron and again loads of flux and real solder
Here's the mess I made LOL

I just use a small nozzle 2.5-3mm maybe in diameter and work around the pins of the ICs keeping it moving at all times (with a tonne of gel flux) whilst gently applying lifting pressure with some fine tweezers.
recent additions.. the 165C took some rebuilding but so far my rebuilt hinges are holding up ok.
Hey, just skim read the start of this thread - sorry if this has already been covered.
My non-FPU Rocket turned out to have an FPU and it was just disabled in the ROM. Changing the ROM for one from a full Rocket enabled it! I then also over locked it to 33MHz, although I fitted a 33MHz chip, so it wasn't really an overclock.
I see you're based out of Leam. I went to uni down that way and lived in South Leam for a year. Still have some friends in that part of the world.

Upgrading the Radius Rocket 25i
Upgrading the Radius Rocket 25i In the early 90s before Apple was able to release the first 68040 based Quadra system, Radius, mostly known for their video cards and monitors but also a manufacture…

Did some sorting today so took some pics.
It's doing well, it's a WGS 8100 110 made from 2 machines. I got really lucky with one set of bezels.
Omg yeah the IIfx.. nightmare
the board was bombed and too badly corroded, ive sourced another less badly damaged board but im in need of some 64pin simm sockets.. otherwise im gonna have to cut up some 72pin ones and make em fit.
Yah some sort of compact mac, not had one for a for years, just fancied another.
Regular SE's are easy to be found, have a bunch of them!
No leaking caps either, well, at least not on the logic board!
As long as the battery didn't do a Maxwell
, you should be good!Sure, right up the moment they explode!
Most my SE's came with Varta's, also still holding a charge!
Below what one of those Maxwell batteries did to the logic board of one of my SE/30
To clarify, I meant battery bombs and was just calling all battery meltdowns a maxcell. Mine had Vartas.Sure, right up the moment they explode!
