TweedyF Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) I picked up an SE30 today which lo and behold had an exploded Maxell inside. I’ve given it a good rinse and a good scrub, but it’s pretty bad. I’ve never had a Maxell issue of my own before, so curious to hear from from others: is this board too damaged to help, as I fear it is? (If so, anyone holding on to a spare board they would be willing to part with?!) Edited September 9, 2020 by TweedyF Typo! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hfrazier Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 @TweedyF Sorry to see that.. I also have a board that was nuked that badly. I thought I could bodge the crap out of it and make it work but the traces underneath were too far gone, I had to grab a spare good board off of ebay to revive the mac.. Excellent parts donor though. Twist off all those caps and give it a good cleaning to preserve what is left! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TweedyF Posted September 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 Thanks @hfrazier – And don't worry, of course I'll be keeping the board for the rest of what's on it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quorten Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 Good thing modern replacement RTCs and logic boards are up and coming. Until recently, Macintosh SE and SE/30 Maxell bombed boards felt like a real bummer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
