hey there how long before it started doing this, just curious?

UE8 is a common fail point with the SE/30, but usually it proves it self to be bad with in the 2 hour burn in.

I charge 25 to replace the UE8 if you want to send it over i can swap that out.

If it would have went bad on me here i would have swapped it out here and saved you the hassle...

Oh well Murphy's law…

Yeah Uniserver I was thinking about getting a hot air setup for future smd work, at some point the cost of repair/shipping everything to you will balance out with doing some of the repair work myself .

In terms of run time before it failed? Maybe 30 hours tops. I'll poke around a bit more tonight but I'll probably ship it to you for repairs.

Data lines bring video data only when video ram is selected,otherwise bring instruction and data and everything.so we can't tell something comparing them.I thought Data lines to video rams are good because if there is problem,whole system won't be working.but is there possibility there is cut just before video ram?

Nah all the traces are fine, its probably because the 2 video lines from UE8 are bad its causing some weird stuff on the D bus, the system works fine otherwise.
