UPDATE! I connected the keyboard again today and it was working! Well...mostly. On two occasions, on two different macs, it did stop working but then it resumed functioning after a reboot. I used deoxit on the port and it cleaned up nicely, as well as the chip socket, but I suspect that there...

Thanks, Kai. Man, your work is amazing! An SE reloaded would be a challenge for me, but an SE/30 reloaded would be at a whole nother level with all that surface mount work! Below is a picture after a quick vinegar clean up. I think the RTC is okay and a lot of the black stuff is just goo from...

Hey guys, I just picked up this SE/30 but once I noticed corrosion, I decided to pull the logic board rather than trying to power It up. I have brought back some 386 and 486 boards with vinegar, a glass pencil, and some trace repair, but this is all SMD and I wonder what your thoughts are on...

Wow that one does have corrosion! Mine looks clean and there seems to be continuity, but I'm going to carefully check the values and all the resistors and the capacitor before assuming that it's the controller chip.

Yes, this Mac works fine with my proper Macintosh Plus keyboard and cable. As soon as I plug that cable in to this particular keyboard and Boot It up it will not function. I have confirmed that the Mac side of the cable shows continuity with components such as resistors on the PCB. I actually...
