fixed the macintosh se/30 today
okay i actually washed it a few days ago, to give it time to dry under a fan. the corrosion from leaked capacitors on this board was baaaaad. i learned a lot about soldering on old corroded parts. the battery hadn't exploded, but a few traces were still broken. glad my roommate has a continuity testing multimeter

used mostly correct components...

everything i touch works perfect
next up: ram upgrades, rom upgrades, drive upgrades, power supply upgrades, case upgrades, paint upgrades....... unlike my regular SE, i brought this machine back from the dead, and feel no obligation to keep it stock
