Hi All,

I'm (trying) to repair a SE/30 after a battery explosion.
My ROM Simm connector is bad and I would like to replace it however I can't find any spare part in France neither Mouser or Digikey.
If anyone of you who got some spare is willing to ship one to me, I'm happy to pay everything.

Let me know.

Jon
I'm not aware of any distributors in France that stock the part, but if you're willing to import one, here's a direct replacement: https://www.peconnectors.com/sockets-pga-cpu-and-memory/hws1788/

Thanks for the link however they are not shipping to France that's why I'm looking for someone with spare parts.

I read on some old 68kmla thread the other day I THINK that the scsi termination “fuse” can go and not let you get proper termination or something… perhaps it takes 5v scsi power down with it.
Try google searching that

edit to add:
Have you tried powering the blue scsi externaly via the usb port on it. This may or may not help but at least you can get proper power to it.
