Mac SE/30 Won't Boot /w Vertical Line Patterns on Screen — #3

Hello I have an old Mac SE/30 that, like the title says, won't boot properly. The guy I got it from said it was working fine the week before I got it but he was freeing up space on…

Yep, I got the Centronics cable, it plugged right into the back of the CD-ROM Drive.
Thanks for the reminder.

make sure, that fits onto a cable to change it (which is fine if you have a 50 pin <-> 50 pin centroncis cable)

Yeah I did some research shortly after I posted the question. You are correct it's a Centronics. I found the adapter here.

I need a 50 to 25pin adapter for the cord to plug it into my Macintosh Color Classic. I ordered one and got it today but its a tiny 50pin on the adapter and not the large wide 50 p…

Hi Jason,
I responded to your email a few minutes ago. I see that JDW gave you basically the same advice I did, but in better detail. You didn't mention the reverse polarity pro…
SE/30 - blown capacitor — #9
a big thanks to JDW for such a thorough reply. just to be clear i am *not* that dexterous with a soldering tool. in fact, this whole process of cap replacement is new to me.

SE/30 - blown capacitor — #8
I have never "partially recapped" a board and then tested it. So I cannot speak from experience in that regard. But what I can say is that if you have the caps properly oriented …

I received my replacement capacitors from Trag (thanks, Jeff) and have started to solder this morning. I have three finished, when I decided to put the board back and try it out. O…

The ones from Trag have a thin, red line on the one side. That's the positive side.
Cheers,

the tantalum ones are not marked positive or negative. how do i know which end is which ?
SE/30 - blown capacitor — #3
yes, can type almost always indicate the negative side, where as tants are marked on the positive side
SE/30 - blown capacitor — #2
I'll venture a guess; you've put the capacitor in backwards. The tiny stripe on the capacitor should point towards the "+" on the motherboard. I *think* this is opposite the factor…

A few of notes:
- CD Sunrise will only support HFS CDs. So ensure that you are creating HFS CDs if you are using a CD drive to transfer files onto the SE.
- Apple's CD driver wi…

You will have difficulty reading many discs if you are using system 6 (I recommend upgrading to 6.0.8 in any case). You will need to find the desktop manager init and place it in y…
