SE/30 logic board large capacitors
Posted by: beachycove on 2018-02-19 17:12:08
The SE/30 has, among other capacitors, two radials rated 220µF (16V) at C11, and 470µF (16V) at C2.

Can anyone tell me what they are for?

I ask because I have recapped all but these two, and my floppy drive does not appear to be getting power. I’ve tried a couple of drives and two cables....

Just trying to figure out what to do next.

Sorry, tried another: The third floppy worked, so the first two were dead. That was an unwelcome fluke.

All the same, what do C2 and C11 do?

C2 is Audio Power Filter, C11 is +5V Supply Filter
