Almost certainly a cold solder joint crack on the underside one of the J connectors that brings power or the circular joints where the flyback is. Inspect carefully under magnification and see the crack, and the best way is to remove most of the old solder of a joint before putting in fresh one...

I did this:

I coded my own 40th birthday card for my Mac Plus in C - the goal is to make it work on a Mac 128 eventually! It is *NOT* easy to do after trying it out in emulation for a few hours last night. In terms of data, I'm only using a full screen PICT (so about 22kb) and my YT channel logo which has...

Unless I'm mistaken, the J7 cable between the logic and analog board is pretty much the same in the 512 as the Plus. https://www.digibarn.com/collections/diagrams/mac-512klogicboard/mac-logic-schematic.jpg

Perifractic released a video 2 days ago on the F256K, framing its whole situation very well- chicken and the egg syndrome with devs and amount of programs made for it. He loves the machine and wants to increase exposure to it to alleviate the unfair advantage of the Commander X-16

The SE/30 is an excellent choice. Have you gone down the rabbit hole of recapping at least its logic board? Taken out the battery before it spills and corrodes the board? I've recently added wires to mine from a connector to split the video signal out, sent it to a RGBtoHDMI and can now stream...

If you're interested by a hardware Gravis UltraSound but are not made of money to buy an original one and can't be bothered to solder your own board from the github project files, then the newest hardware revision v2 just hit today in Ian Scott's tindie store and you can buy your own, now with a...

A 1.0.0 firmware was just released! If you're onto the v2 hardware track, you'll get joystick support! Wavetable support! (I don't really need those because my physical SB16 provides those if I want them). But one thing that immediately benefits me is that I no longer have to cross my fingers...

that's how I'd do it to rule out problems in that area.

How did you reflow the solder joints? Did you completely remove the old solder, clean, then put new one in? Or just heated and added new to old?
