I install the CD Sunrise driver today with System 6.0.8 and when I stuck a CD in the drive I get a error of some sort (I can't remember right now). What else could I try?
Thanks,…

SE 30 focus problems after cap replacement — #10
JDW is quite correct -- poor focus is not caused by a logic board problem (except, perhaps, indirectly by loading the power supply; that possibility is quickly checked by simply me…

I have never had any caps "knocked off" when I have removed or inserted SE/30 logic boards. But I used to be a service tech for the now defunct MicroAge so I know how to exercise …

Try setting the jumpers on the back of both drives to CS (cable select).
Also, take the RAM down from 1.25GB to say 512MB, if possible. Sometimes OSX will do funky things when yo…

JDW is correct on what he has said. Most display issues are centralized around analog technology, hence the analog board. If it were a problem centralized with the logic board, y…

unless that filter chip is flooding the system with noise, course if it were enough to cause focus issues on a totally different system its going to cause all sorts of havoc

You appear to be confirming what I had guessed before. Namely, that you did NOT have this screen focus problem when you first had your SE/30 operational, prior to any motherboard …

Gary,
Can you post a photo of the screen so we can make determine whether this is spot on to what Trag said? In the mean time, I'll verify this with my own SE/30, even if it's no…

Thanks JDW for reply:
To simply my request for answer re focus problem, I didn't state full story.

Hey, my iMac G4 gave up the ghost for some reason and I'm not about to fix it right now so I'm putting the 80GB drive inside my quicksilver which already has 2 hard drives. I thoug…

Your advice was spot on! I removed the battery and actually booted without it once and then put the battery back in and booted again. It booted fine both times. This one has a n…
SE 30 focus problems after cap replacement — #2
Pulling the logic board and replacing caps should not affect your screen focus at all. I should know since I have yanked out my motherboard and put it back in dozens of times with…

After excellent dealings with Trag, I replaced (paid technician) to have caps replaced with tantalums. Fixed problem, but now focus is off a bit - but too uncomfortable to view. T…

Can you double check whether you get a mouse arrow in the top left-hand corner of the screen or if you even get a startup tone when you turn it on? Another culprit could be that t…

I'm quoting JDW from an older post he had on AppleFritter:
"I have also read about replacing the bourns chip (RP2), but I don't have one handy and I honestly do not see the logic …

After examining your photos, it is clear that your analog board is in good shape. But it is also clear your motherboard is in bad shape, especially in the area of C9. You not onl…

TheNixer,
It sounds like you have a problem with the network filter (RP2) on the SE/30 logic board. So you are correct. Referring this info to the website you linked in your las…

I'm wondering if I'm out of luck on this SE/30. It's a liberation that I knew didn't work but I thought I'd try my luck anyway. The great SE/30 repair reference (http://www.biwa.…

First thought: mosey over to cubeowner.com and browse the video card forum. Second, that's the way a GPU that's been running hot seems to die. Unless you had a fan on that 7500, it…
