I fixed one of my SE's this year after it suddenly lost video completely. I think it was C15. No cracked solder joints that I could see.
Good work on the fix. It is interesting to see how the community has changed when I joined over a decade ago...the supply of good parts was available and cheap! So not much actual electronics diagnosis and fixing was happening, unlike today.
I was glad to fix my SE because it runs 24/7 at my office...I have a clock program running on it. It is a very menial task for such a fine machine, but at least it is still in use! I'm hoping that someday the nasty case of screen burn-in will un-burn itself over the years too.
