Hi,

I have an SE/30 which suddently stop working, and when powered on I see the classic simasimac pattern (as described here http://www.biwa.ne.jp/~shamada/fullmac/repairEng.html#SimasiMac), that is black and white horizontal stripes.

I did what the guide said and removed all the ram and rom dimms, cleaned the slots and only put 4 ram dimms back (total 1 mb). The pattern is still there, but after a few seconds it goes a way and boots.

One can't really be said that the problem is solved. Oh and I still don't get a startup bong.

I was wondering if this means that the ram is faulty or that I definately have to replace the capacitors mentioned in the guide?
