    Unstable Mac SE

    In my opinion, if it works with the stock RAM, then probably no issue on the ADB nor with hidden connection breaks (warming up could cause problems). Try with a known good 1MB RAM modules. ...and stress test it with the stock RAM sticks... I would build it back to the "normal" state (back in...

    Macintosh Portrait Display Repair - Smearing/Pulsing Image on Screen

    Amazing! This is again a good example to change the old capacitors can bring back the life into "any" old electronic devices. One day, I had a talk with @JDW, and his opinion: "recap'em all". Here we go. Good job, 60+ capacitors... (y)

    Viewing photos requires being logged in - prevents archiving

    There will be board meeting soon, @Branchus, @eric, @Stephen - the archiving reason could be a good point to let semi-downsized image available for non-registred/not-loggedin visitors. Bigger than the thumbnail previews but smaller than the original/fullsize image. Thank you in advance.

    Switzerland as option for Trading Posts (and debate about "Europe")

    Both of you are right. . . . There are few countries from the geographical Europe who are not member of the European Union. If we would like to "remind" people inside/outside from UK - because of the new customs regulation, we should do a group like "Europe" and we know who is in EU and who...

    Unstable Mac SE

    If you are planning to check the logic board outside from the houseing, you could use hairdryer to warm up the board without overheating it. (I had a Plus - probably thousands of working hours in it - with similar freezing effects. I used hairdryer to partially heat the logic board. Finally, I...

    SE/30 volume not adjustable after logic board recap

    SUCCESS! After checking all the outcoming lines from UE10, then I catched a disconnected Pin between UE10 Pin-33 and UB10 Pin-4 (and UB11 Pin-4). Repairing it with air-wire, then we have all 3 Pins of UB10 (Pin31, Pin32 and Pin33) connected to both UB10 and UB11 (Pin-2, Pin-3 and Pin-4) ...and...

    I shecked everything from multiple direction. There are no shortened nor cutted connections anymore. I checked from C2 to C7 every connection based on the image I posted earlier. I find the C5 + was not connected to UB11 Pin7, but I corrected it with a air-wire. I resoldered ALL of the pins of...

    Thank you James. Yes, I've checked it already in the time of the original post, just edited right now and added this information too.

    SE/30 volume not adjustable after logic board recap

    Yes, I washed the board in multiple levels: warm soapy water, let 2 weeks drying on the heater then IPA (not just rubbing around, proper draw in IPA). Of course, after the IPA wash, I let it dry few days as well. I use this method always with my stuffs because I don't have ultrasonic cleaner...

    SE/30 volume not adjustable after logic board recap

    I finished my SE/30 full recap. Everything works as expected only one thing: I can not change the volume in the Sound control panel. If I set to 0, then the menu bar blinks, but then at 1 and any other till 7 -> is the "same loud". Do you have any idea what could cause this behaviour? Previously...

    As @Mac84 mentioned, remove everything what could move around or fall out from its socket. Package the small stuffs separately, carefully. Package the housing (after removed all 4 handles) into bubble wrap, then into a box. Package this "inner" box again into bigger bubble wrap blankets. Put...
