Daystar Accelerator for Mac SE/30, no boot at all
Posted by: amedeo_68k on 2022-02-02 08:54:28 Hi all, I'm new here, so first of all my greetings to everybody! I have resqued a Daystar accelerator for Mac SE/30, see pictures, but if I put the board on SE/30 it would not boot at all, I think there is something like a short to ground, as I hear the power supply "clicking". Do you have any ideas? Thank you so much. Amedeo

Posted by: amedeo_68k on 2022-02-02 09:24:37 oh, good to know, the good thing is that I received that one as "gift" because was not working on another SE/30, so it wasn't me to toast it. However maybe I could try to replace the toasted ICs, but only If I could find an adapter somewhere. Ideas?
