although, maybe capacitors are bad? Has the power supply been recapped?

there is a new board that uses switch mode supplies to generate the voltages needed

you can test it with a multimeter in resistance mode or an LCR meter in inductance. if it shows as open circuit on either the primary or secondary, the transformer's done for. Has the power supply been recapped?

if a capacitor came off, DO NOT RUN IT, get it recapped as soon as possible

either something's shorted or the transformer blew open, do you hear any clicking or high pitched noises? If your ears aren't sensitive to high pitched noises, there are apps you can get for iPhone and Android that are spectrum analyzers

SE/30s are picky about their RAM, so it's just a matter of trial and error to see what works, and for the memory, the ROMinator is slightly thinner and a standard ROM SIMM, I know BMOW said there was a way to make it work in another forum post, but it has escaped my memory

I bet you they implemented that because someone torched their adapter for a warranty claim

there are IDE to SATA adapters which you can use

I usually check sites like ebay or mercari, but I have a few machines i got locally

any time, enjoy that Macintosh Classic! I used to own one, but I hated how slow it was on system 7.5 and was too stubborn to put it back to 7.1 or earlier, so I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a Classic II

I've never used BlueSCSI, only SCSI2SD, but I believe the card should be formatted FAT32. ExFAT might work, but I'd check with others that have used the BlueSCSI to see if that works. And usually, I just order caps I need off digikey or mouser, but cap kits are the best way to go, especially...

capacitors. If you have not had the analog and logic boards recapped, get them recapped as soon as you can

check the voltages from the floppy port. I don't have the image that shows which pins to probe, but I'm sure someone will chip in the does

If you really want silence, go for Noctua

the beige, and to be fair, I conducted the test in the middle of the summer
