SE/30 Logic Board Recap Service Needed
Posted by: fatal3rror on 2021-07-08 20:46:17
I've got a Mac SE/30 logic board that needs recapping and since I'm clumsy with surface mount components, I've been on the lookout to hire someone else to do it for me. I am located in Massachusetts, USA.

I reached out to maccaps.com but got no response.

Does anyone know of a professional for hire willing to recap this board?

Amiga of Rochester has been doing a lot of recaps for people lately.

When I have time I recap things, but ONLY recap. If it works and just needs caps fine. If it doesn’t work...that’s another story 😛

@LaPorta I am the same. I do a mean recap, and try to be as proactive as possible about replacing components that are known to have a high failure rate. Anything more than that, though, and I have to ship it out to someone with actual troubleshooting and repair skills.

Thanks for pointing me this direction -- I think this is the route I'm going to take!

I just had Amiga of Rochester do a LCII board and PSU for me after seeing the rave reviews here. Top notch service, and he sent a video too keeping me up to date on the progress and letting me see it boot! Highly recommend.

I've had very good service from Joe's Computer Museum. He has a YouTube channel of the same name:
https://www.youtube.com/c/JoesComputerMuseum/about
His contact email is listed there. He's in Vernon, OH if that makes any difference to you.
He's done two SE/30 boards for me, and both had issues greater than just needing recapping. He sorted them out and recapped in a couple of days.
