Look up “simasimac”. The electrolytic capacitors on the logic board have leaked their electrolytic fluid and are no longer functioning. What’s more, the electrolyte is corrosive and can destroy the logic board if allowed to sit for too long. Simply “washing” the logic board may bring back some functionality but is not going to solve the problem in any sort of permanent way. If you are good with a soldering iron, you can replace these capacitors yourself. Charles has a cap chart here: http://www.maccaps.com/MacCaps/Capacitor_Reference/Entries/1989/1/19_Macintosh_SE_30.html Charles also offers a logic board recap service. Details and contact information are on his site. - Dylan -- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
