@vtgearhead Cool, best of luck on that endeavor! Any idea about the flyback transformer or other questions I posted? Thanks!

@vtgearhead No bodge wires that I can see or anything. Haven't got it booting yet since I don't have a monitor -- do you have a recommendation for a monitor to purchase? Is the Dove 030 very rare? -- Also, what do you mean by the 512ke board -- Ihad thought it was a 512k, not 512ke? Also, do...

Hello! Just yesterday, I picked up two compact macs, a Mac II, and a first generation iPod. However, both compact macs have interesting upgrades. Both work (after a quick reflow of the analog board) and are pretty clean inside. They also have fan mods! The Mac Plus has a 68000 16Mhz upgrade by...

Huh, never thought about it like that. My only concern would be removing the motherboard from the computer, but I could probably use some little connect wires 1 or 2 pin connectors and wire them up like that. I will let everybody know how it goes once I have a chance and get my motherboard back!

Hmm... interesting. So plugging in a headphone jack would disable the internal speakers if wired up in this way? if so, then it would almost work perfectly. -- Probably not worth the time and effot it to would take to go through and remove the components lol but it makes sense.

Hi, I recently bought two 4Ohm 5W speakers and a 5W+5W Stereo speaker amplifier to drive them. I had then planned to plug it into the speaker header on the SE/30 motherboard once I get my motherboard back. However, while louder sound is cool, mono is still boring. I know there is a way to...

Yeah, I'd prefer to keep it running on battery power since I feel like it otherwise takes away the charm. I just don't like entrusting my expensive machine to an old Portable adapter. If anyone can recap one of these without damaging the casing, please, please send me a PM! Good to know...

Awesome work! Is it possible for this to work on my Mac Portable (Backlit)? Maybe with modification!

Good catch, but as you said not sure if it would really affect much. Didn't know the ROM needed more than one, it seems to be pretty firmly in there. There were a few things that I noted that look strange. Below are some photos of said areas. Note weird, blue colored component at C6: Note...

Here is a video of the logic board. Lmk if there is anything I should take photos of or test. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rBzIxK60NuSOOCF9DJonJRKWe0HchxQ5/view?usp=sharing

Agreed, I'll send the cards over tomorrow. Anyone else have thoughts on diagnosing the logic board? I'll take some photos and add them here in just a second.

Makes sense :/ Yeah, I've talked with ZigZagJoe and I'll send him back the cards just to make sure that it isn't an issue with the cards. Thanks for all the help!

Okay, so I installed the LCD. However, it chimes and then quickly gives a sad mac tone. Nothing ever shows on the screen. Interestingly, when I remove the 30Video card driving the LCD it does not give the sad mac tone. I tried installing the Accelerator and no error. Then tried plugging the...

I definitely will be!

Haha, yeah. I'm getting an LCD and new PSU soon so hopefully I can install that, just trying to eliminate as many issues before I install it, but I guess we'll see!

Haha, completely forgot. Yes, chime is present. I have reached out to Amiga of Rochester and we are led to believe their is something wrong with my CRT or Analog board of the system, but not sure where to continue from there.

Totally understand. I'm pretty new to CRTs but I'd really like to try to fix this if possible.

Hmm, okay. Sorry for my inexperience but how would I test the heater voltage? Tysm for the help!

@vtgearhead What would that mean? How could I fix it?

Hi, I got a recapped Macintosh SE/30 and the motherboard needed some work so I sent it off to u/AmigaOfRochester to get it all fixed up -- great guy, he did fantastic work on the SE/30 motherboard and my Mac Portable motherboard, highly reccommend! At the time of purchase the machine powered on...
