I will refer you to my past post and what I offer if you don't feel confident to do the work yourself. Just buy an SE/30 Recap kit from 68kmla member Trag, send both the recap kit and logic board along with the ROM SIMM and some RAM to me.

I will do initial testing before any repairs, clean the board thoroughly of any corrosion, capacitor leaks, etc., replace all the caps on top of the logic board (C1 through C13), make sure all the SIMM sockets are cleaned of corrosion, replace the lithium battery (for just the cost of the part) and do a 24-hour period "burn test" to make sure the original symptoms don't return. In the testing process, I do multiple startup cycles, run stress tests on the video, RAM, etc.

My labor cost is just $10 per hour at about 2 hours per board. So really the costs come down to $20 for labor, $10 for the recap kit, optional $2 dollars for the lithium battery replacement (only if necessary), and then the cost of shipping everything to me. I'll cover the cost of return shipping, I won't charge you for the 24-hour "burn test" and I guarantee my work.

I've had a handful of members whom I've successfully been able to resurrect their SE/30s from the dead using my services. I not only work on SE/30s but extend to other makes and models, too. PM me and we can further talk.
