| Mac SE incoming | |
| Posted by: LCGuy on 2013-05-07 19:30:17 After I leave work this afternoon, I'm going to take the trek over to North Sydney to hopefully pick up a Mac SE. More details later.... | |
| Posted by: uniserver on 2013-05-07 21:42:01 ok let us know how it goes. | |
| Posted by: CelGen on 2013-05-07 22:10:26 SE's sound so cute when their Miniscribe drives are working properly. | |
| Posted by: LCGuy on 2013-05-08 03:23:23 Aaaaaand I got it. Came with an Apple Keyboard II and an ADB Mouse. This weekend I'll clean it up and see what I can do about Simasimac. | |
| Posted by: LCGuy on 2013-05-08 05:12:34 Hmm, was just having a look at the back, the SCSI port is epic rusted. I wonder if there's a battery bomb on board. :'( And to make matters worse, as it turns out my long handled T15 is back in Queensland. | |
| Posted by: uniserver on 2013-05-08 07:37:00 so this is a 8mhz SE not a SE/30. | |
| Posted by: Brett B. on 2013-05-08 08:04:24 You don't need the long handled Torx. I've NEVER had one, a long flat blade screwdriver works just fine. Been using one for years. Although if you're going out to buy a screwdriver, might as well get the one you need. | |
| Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2013-05-08 08:22:17 The correct size Allen wrench works just fine as well. I bought one of the long extension Torx bits off the guy on eBay and haven't used it yet. The allen type tool from the MacConnection(?) Memory upgrade kit is just perfect. | |
| Posted by: LCGuy on 2013-05-13 01:58:57 On Friday I bought some long Torx bits on eBay, which came today. So I pulled the logic board out of the SE:  As you can see the battery looks fine, there's no corrosion around it at all. However there's a lot of corrosion near the back. Looking at the EMI shielding, and the inside of the case, it looks as if something's been spilt into/on it. Even if it is fixable....I want to be able to use that external SCSI port. So....anyone have a spare SE board? 🙂 | |
| Posted by: CelGen on 2013-05-13 07:55:29 Have you tested to see yet if your current board has working external SCSI? Bit of a waste to swap boards because the ports look grimy. | |
| Posted by: uniserver on 2013-05-13 08:01:26 use your dremel and grind that rust off, I had to do that, with some Boards i bought from GUAM. | |
Posted by: LCGuy on 2013-05-14 01:50:06Have you tested to see yet if your current board has working external SCSI? Bit of a waste to swap boards because the ports look grimy.At the very least I'll have to try washing it first - at the moment I get Simasimac. 🙁 | |
