Got a "junk" SE/30 for cheap from Japan without pictures, just got it...
It looks like it was a battery bomb and someone was inside this thing to remove it I guess...

What do you guys think?

you have a bunch of traces gone, you will have to take out the rom slot also and see how bad is underneath, the RTC looks gone but I might be wrong; best thing is to start cleaning it as much as you can and remove the old caps, THEN you can see the amount of damage you have

fwiw not all hope is lost, worst comes worst just get a SE/30 reloaded mobo and move the components to the new one

Thanks,
I will give it a good scrub on sunday and see where it leads. to me the RTC looks gone and the two diodes D1/2 near at as well (which I couldn't find the part number for it)
