no there was no debacle with the SE/30's (I think that was with a third SE/30 board that I didn't get). from another member on here, i think it was a trade or something...
the debacle was with a LC475/q605 board, He sent that, and 2 se/30 boards to me in a loosely packed box with aluminum foil wrapped around em and a couple scrunched up sheets of paper. The boards were repeadly banging together, inside the box, and there was all kinds of knocked off parts in the bottom of the box when i opened it. I did the best i could to put all the parts back on and carefully removed all the tiny little pieces of aluminum foil from under all the i/c's. and Professionally recapped them too! He got all the boards back and they all worked except the the lc475/q605 board… well it worked fine but the sound just made like a high pitched tone or something… he kinda sounded like he was pissed off about it.. and kinda was sounding like it was my fault or something, and that i should take it back and fix it… i said nope… haven't herd from em since.
I believe the se/30 debacle was between him and another member that sold him a bum se/30 he was all blow out about that as well if I can recall. Don't remember the whole story. but i do know the 2 se/30's that he sent me were screwed… someone had already started on em, missing pads etc… i had more then 8 straight hours into those boards. Was a little proud of my self when both se/30s worked… but that lc 475… its so funny because when i tested the board when it booted up and worked!!! … i just flipped it off and called it good.. for some reason, never even connected the speaker, Was just impressed worked! Besides never really had sound issues with a LC475/Q605 before, this would of been the first one.
When parts on the PCB are mechanically ripped from boards slapping against each other like that… It does a lot more damage then what one might think.
Maybe he felt like he got a bad deal from a member on here with that Bum se/30 and then got a bad deal from me when I wouldn't take the LC475 back to fix the sound… I told em just look around and maybe there is still a hunk of tin foil under something.. i think he said, he was going to throw it aside and buy a new one. i dunno. i wish em the best.
edit, I forgot some knocked off parts on the bottom of one of those SE/30's, I couldn't find em, they had made it through a hole in the box. This was another board that CC_333's parts se/30 helped me fix… so that makes 5 SE/30's so far that CC_333's board has fixed
Im Wrong, My FDHD has his network filters in it as well, This was before I bought a mess of new filters. Well now that i am really thinking of it… my Classic II has the FPU from CC_333's parts se/30 board LOL>
