My Apple Macintosh SE/30 has finally got "SimasiMac" (Horizontal Stripes) on boot up.
I have refered to the following URL, to determine what to do next ; http://www.biwa.ne.jp/~shamada/fullmac/repairEng.html I have determined that I need to replace the following capacitors ; (C1,C3,C4,C5,C7,C8,C9,C10,C12,C13) with Chip Type Electrolytic Capacitor (47uF 16v) (C6) with Chip Type Electrolytic Capacitor (1uF 50v) I have suitable replacements from the RS Electronics Web Site, which have 2000 to 5000 hrs of life. They seem to be surface mounted & soldered from above & not from below. Q1) My question is how do you desolder & solder a chip capacitor ?? Q2) I have a Low Wattage 230v 15W Soldering Iron, I would imagine I will need 0.5mm DIA or 1.0mm DIA soldering tip ? Look forward to your responses.
