According to this link, C7 is a 47 µF like the other ones: https://macdat.net/cap_reference/apple/compact/se30.html Thanks for the info about C11, I will cut the legs of the old capacitor and use them to solder the new one.

Hi, I started by replacing capacitors C3 ,C4, C5 and C6 and it solved the problem, hurray! The sound is working again :D Thanks everyone for your help. I continued replacing the remaining capacitors using the wiring diagram here: Wiring Diagram I replaced C2 and I struggled a bit not only to...

It's actually pretty clean as on the attached photos. I took pictures of some of the capacitors.

Should I clean the board after or before removing the capacitors? I read article on people putting it in demineralized water or vinegar + water before cleaning and drying it. Is it worth doing ?

I'll start with these capacitors thanks. I ordered some flux paste. Never used it before but it seems convenient indeed to help with the soldering. Does it protect the board from the iron heat when soldering ?

Thanks for the information. I was hoping to avoid recapping the board but it may be needed.. How difficult is it ? I saw the risky part of removing the existing capacitor ; should it work ok if the capacitor is gently twisted counter clock wise ? I noticed on the video that he applied heat to...

I decided to reformat the internal 40MB HD using Lido 7. After struggling looking for clone solutions, I found a simple solution by coping the system files from a mounted image using the BlueSCSI to the internal HD. Definitely not possible with Ms Windows, so I didn't think it would work.

Hi, I noticed that my Mac SE/30 doesn't play any sound. Here are the tests I carried: Checked the control panel to set the volume to max Managed to get the built-in speaker to work when connecting it to a different Mac SE When I use the audio output by connecting speakers or headphones, I can...

Hi, Based on previous posts, I decided to replace my Mac SE with a Mac SE/30. I'd like to reset my Mac SE with a working HD which I took from the Mac SE/30 since I use BlueSCSI SD for the SE/30. When I boot with the HD on the SE or SE/30, I get a debugger starting message followed by the...

Thank you for your replies, I'm going to look into it.

Hi When I run Netspace 3.03, I'm getting a system error with code 2. It's running ok with NCSA Mosaic 1.0.3 I will try with Netscape 2

Hello, I managed to connect my Mac SE to the Internet thanks to the latest BlueSCSI v2 DB25). I'm using Mosaic browser as I didn't manage to install Netscape using the provided drive or using any version from MacGarden. If anyone has succeeded in installing and using any Netscape version with...

Thank you @eric for the useful information and the link to the patched vmac. @Volvo242GT thanks for your sharing your experience. I understand the issue and will probably revert to 7.1 due to performance issues. I'll give it a go with 6.0.8

In addition to my previous post, the Mac SE internal HD seems to have died so I'm considering running the Mac OS from the SD which may be easier. In Balistisk, I managed to create a custom image with 7.5 on a blank image and boot it on the Mac SE. Now I wonder if the DB25 BlueSCSI v2 is suitable...

Thanks for the info. According to the Mac SE specs, it should support OS 7.5.1, 7.5.3, 7.5.5. I'm happy to stay with 7.1, but I wonder why 7.5.3 wouldn't work. For the extensions or other software to install via .dsk files download from the Mac Garden or Repository, is the best practise with...

Hello, I bought a BlueSCSI v2 DB25 which works fine so far: I can boot with a pre made image on the SD card (Open Retro 7.5.3), except I have extensions errors so I need to reboot with the shift key. I'd like to update the internal Mac SE hard drive which has Mac OS 7.1 to 7.5.3 I downloaded a...

It's indeed the SE so I can't use this image. Thanks for the info

Hi I downloaded the image from Mega (HD10_512 Mac... 81.hda), copied it to my SD card, and renamed it hd2.hda I'm getting a 000000F 000000C error on the screen and the logs mention This drive contains the LIDO driver and may cause issues. Is it the reason why I'm getting this error I found that...

Thank you for the suggestions :). I'm going to start looking at the board.

Hello, I'm trying to fix an old M0420 Mac Classic. When I start the Mac, I get a sad picture: 0000001 0000FFFF I found the following page: https://tinkerdifferent.com/resources/sad-mac-error-codes.82/ Based on this information, 00000001 mean the ROM test failed and the sub code is meaningless...
