Hello Tinkerers,

I have an SE/30 motherboard which (long story short) I brought from my home country because it suffered from simasimac. I did not bring the entire Mac for obvious reasons.
I have no experience soldering and unfortunately this is a little bit too difficult for a beginner; thus, I need to outsource a couple repairs and final testing.

It has already been cleaned and recapped; and as you can see in the pics, it seems to be in overall good condition (it worked fine until not that long ago). It had some cap leak damage but no battery leak. It needs the following:

1) Soldering an "old-new" ASC chip that I have bought (the old one's pins were too corroded to be saved). Perhaps, even socket it!

2) Fixing or replacing UB12 since it's missing a pin

3) Testing (and fixing any lingering issues on a best-effort basis). If you have the Peeker board + the Reconnaissance software to help you, that'd be optimal.

I need a knowledgeable person who has the needed tools and experience to fix my childhood mac. If that person is you, please kindly contact me!

You could contact: https://amigaofrochester.com/

If you're not in a hurry, CayMac Vintage is another good option, but he will use a Reloaded SE/30 board, instead of repairing your original board: https://ko-fi.com/caymacvintage/commissions

If no one else will help you with this, it's possible I can. I have all of the tools, ultrasonic cleaner, and a TechStep, and have fixed a few SE/30's and SE's recently, but it's always a bit of a gamble concerning repair, being that if a chip is bad, it can take a while to source a good replacement, and the time it takes can pile up.

I also have an excellent condition, newly recapped and fully tested SE/30 board, that I could sell you and take your old board and ASC/parts as a partial payment.
