Recapped SE/30 with No Video

Here is a video of the logic board. Lmk if there is anything I should take photos of or test.

I'm afraid my eyes aren't quite as speed as needed to follow that fast moving video!

About the only thing I could spot is extra flux here...

But as you can see from my board photo below, it's the GND side of axial cap C2, which isn't an issue...

I do see you only have one side of your ROM with a ROM clip on it. Any reason why?

Sorry, but anything else is too fast and burry for me to see.

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 the bridged connection just below the "9" in 1989

Note the weird black substance:

Any of these look like any issue?

Note weird, blue colored component at C6:

UV solder mask. I guess Amiga of Rochester used that to cover exposed copper traces. Not an issue that I can see.

Note the bridged connection just below the "9" in 1989

Note necessarily a bad thing at all.
My board looks like this on bottom...

And like this on top...

Note the weird black substance:

Again, that's UV solder mask, used to cover exposed copper. Not an issue at all that I can see.

You can clean up that area if you like with alcohol. Just dip a swab in it, scrub that area, then wipe with a tissue. May take a couple applications. Won't solve your problem. Just something to make those areas look better. It won't remove the UV solder mask, so no worries.
