Post
I'm hoping for some SE/30 expertise.  I installed a 32-bit, third-party ROM into my SE/30.  The system powered on and I heard the chime, but it was very staticky.  The system booted just fine, but the speakers continued to put out static, and the real sound faded down to almost nothing.  I quickly powered off the system and replaced the third-party ROM SIMM with the original.  Unfortunately the static continued and got progressively worse. The sound is now gone completely...

Before installing the third-party ROM SIMM, I had recapped the board, and the sound was loud and clear (and static free).

I recapped the board again after the sound died, still no change.  I can no longer hear the startup chime or get any sound whatsoever, and I still hear a lot of static from the speakers.  The system boots and functions perfectly otherwise (no SCSI, LocalTalk or any other issues I've noticed).  I tried installing the board in my other SE/30, and same issues (eliminating the analog board from the problem).

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!  BTW, great forum!
