Also, where can I get a floppy drive for the SE that has a bad one? It keeps injecting then ejecting then injecting then ejecting then injecting then ejecting then injecting then ejecting then injecting.....

You're kidding, right? :-)
Do people really put motherboards in dishwashers?! I'm yet to see anything that needed such serious cleaning treatment..
I'm not kidding, as anyone else on this list can tell you ;-) . The goo I refer
in my post are the rests of the motherboard condensers' electrolytic liquid.
When the condensers age, they usually leak their contents. The problem is that
this goo is conductive, and effectively creates short-circuits in the
motherboard, which, in turn, doesn't allow the computer to work. The diswashing
removes all the goo, and makes "unrepairable" boards work in about 95% of the
cases :-) . It's almost magic, but, as you see, it has scientific base.
Of course, all boards do also look a lot nicer after the treatment ;-) .
