At this point I'd order replacement chips and transistors, they're pennies each.

Just as a curio: https://siliconpr0n.org/archive/doku.php?id=bercovici:apple:344s0602-a Thats the die image of the VTi (VLSI) Gate Array (it's a VGC1900 series part), only 858MB! :D

Correct - GLU is a custom ASIC (VTI Gate Array), SWIM is a custom ASIC, the ASC is a custom ASIC, the SND has been reverse engineered, the RTC too, the VIA chips are merely 65C22N's from WDC, the GAL's have been reverse engineered and made available and the rest is off the shelf.

Well the SE/30 has a few options for programmable ROM SIMMs - the EPROM on the board is the video ROM.

The only difference is the mask revision, either will work, both are the same silicon barring perhaps minor errata - either will work just fine.

These guys are pretty good, they have the panels you need, too: https://www.applemacparts.co.uk/powerbook/powerbook-pre-g3/powerbook-pre-g3-100-series/powerbook-pre-g3-100-series-145/powerbook-145-145b-160-165-lcd-display?special_filter_category=75 I believe @Androda makes compatible cables for...

This gives me hope for my own 180!

Oh I do like that as a design, looks like IKEA should sell that, even now.

Correct. The same SWIM is used in the: SE/30 IIx IIcx IIci IIsi Macintosh Classic Quadra 700 There are a few other models too, but can't be certain off the top of my head.

I never installed it because I checked the winding first.

Just a word of warning - I purchased a flyback from Dalbani a few years ago - while it looked new, all the internal windings were melted/shorted together. I never got a refund either.

Iirc @XodiumLabs has done lots of these.

Stickied.
