I don't know how to solder at all. I was wondering if there was someone that I could send my Mac SE/30 motherboard too to get it recap'ed and cleaned professionally. Thanks... :-/

Phreakout (on these forums) did a very good job on my board. It's now working perfectly.
Some relevant threads of interest on this subject:

I really can't recommand a TV repair place. They are not used to soldering small SMD components, they just replace whole boards.
I have repaired a Classic II and SE/30 board for a friend of mine who did his boards in a TV repair shop in France: the SE/30 was messed up and they succeeded to lift 3x traces on 2 capacitors. In order to stick the capacitor to the PCB, they just glued it. I was really shocked :disapprove:
Then they gave him back the boards and said they were unrepairable... Luckily they didn't even start on the Classic II logic board yet.
So if I were you: let someone of the board here do the repair

I would, but the summer is my busiest time of year as far as sidejobs go, and I just done have the time.
Not sure what these negative Google searches said about Phreakout, but my own Google search merely shows that his last activity was on RetroMacCast in October 2013:

I myself have been on the bad side of forum admins before. Sometimes we, being human, simply don't say things that please all the people all the time. And of course there are times we throw our inhibitions out the door and quite literally do phreak out. But so long as we don't upset people perpetually, our faults should at some point be forgiven and we should be allowed to move forward with a clean slate, constructively and positively in our love for old Macs. Hopefully, whatever problems there are with Joe can be forgiven and resolved, allowing him to get back into the game.
But we all need to be aware that sometimes there are medical issues that take us out of the game for good. Such happened to that brilliant genius who designed the digital board of the Macintosh 128k, Burrell Smith.
