Man those SE/30s are taking some beatings out there!
Comrades, Attack!
I'm hoping you didn't buy that machine looking for a good motherboard. I'm beginning to conclude that if you need a new motherboard, you need another machine. That's what I had to do to get a backup motherboard. (Only lifted one solder pad this time, good thing it only goes to ground so I'll have a wire rigged up to finish it. That's if the small chips behind Bank 2 of the RAM chips and the 470uF capacitor aren't toasted. The board smelled nicely of burning circuit boards before it froze when I last used it. The one in the machine now works fine...just gives me some checkerboard real quick when it boots. I already cleaned the RAM slots with 99% alcohol.)
