Yes it was the RAM, everything looked fine so I reseated them and I can now boot up with no problems......or so I thought ! The screen corruption I was seeing is still there it happens about 1 boot out of 3. Looks like simasimac strikes again. I only have 2 SE/30's and they have now both fallen victim ! The board does look like there may be a leaking capacitor, the one nearest to the ROM (I forget the number) is surrounded by a very light coating of what looks like a light coloured resin or dry honey. Might be time to reach for the soldering iron....although my lack of skill with that particular device concerns me ! Thanks all for your advice. Mike.
