thanks for your reply. based on the article i mentioned earlier (re: mac II in same situation) i was thinking it could be F1 or F2. I have located these on the logic board. F1 it is....

i have two of these SE/30 machines, as you do. the one with blown ADP ports also has no sound, which doesn't bother me much, but i know it's a sign of bad capacitors. i have emailed trag@io.com to place an order for these. i've decided to get two sets, and just do both boards at the same time. maybe this will take of things for a good while

still not totally sure about doing the soldering myself. the current cylindric capacitors are seated in a little piece of black plastic. when removing the old capacitors, does the black plastic part come off as well? if you have any pics of that process, that's what i'd like to see.

thanks a bunch,
