Hi everyone:
I'm a new member here, and I came across this forum while searching for information about my Macintosh SE/30's debilitating SimasiMac condition.

I've been reading the various threads about this issue with some curiosity, and began the process of dismantling the SE/30. While I've successfully removed the logic board from my SE/30, and confirmed that some of the surface mount capacitors are leaking, I have decided that the soldering task at hand is far beyond my current abilities. I generally work on cables, not PCBs, and I don't want to take any risks with my machine.

Which brings me to my question: Are there any forum members who would be willing to recap my logic board for a fee, or who know of a computer technician who would be willing to do so? I live in Brooklyn but have come up with few to no leads here. I would love to find someone up to the task, preferably based in the United States on the east coast.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I can do it, but I'm way up here in northern Michigan. 2 things, though:

(1) You would need to send just the board itself to me along with its ROM SIMM. And

(2) I would need to know what caps to replace, including their values and where to get the surface mount caps from.

Let me know if you are interested via a PM.
