Strange video issue w/ SE/30
Posted by: Ralphieboy on 2018-06-15 13:10:21 Hi again. My SE/30 (as everybody knows) equipped with 128 Mb of RAM, ROMinator2, SCSI2SD, RJ45 ethernet card, Daystar PowerCache 33mhz, recapped and analog board checked is developing a strange video behavior. Some “snow”, “noise”, “white interferences” appears quasi each time I use it (see video). Usually I hit the machine on its side and the result is: a return to a normal video behavior or a totally plain white screen. I first thought the problem came from the analog board but this one has been checked recently. My conclusion: I am despaired (lol). View attachment FCFFB43E-6FD4-468A-9691-0057AF022FAE.MOV

Can be Bolle, but hitting the casing on one side won't be able to solve the problem, even temporary. The Logic board was recapped a couple of years ago, and the Analog board was checked a few weeks ago (some weak weldings, all of them were cleaned and welded back again, even the small board on the CRT's neck) I will see when the SE/30 will be at home, problem is... i never managed to see the problem myself.
Posted by: Ralphieboy on 2018-06-17 05:39:23 Bolle, that’s definitely not that kind of artifact. I was wondering; I am a violin maker and my SE/30 sits on my workbench close to gouges, metallic tools and other ferric stuff. Could it induce some kind of magnetic disturbance that can manifest itself in those artifacts I am experiencing?
