Hi everybody,
Someone gave me a SE 30. It boots fine but the screen displays a black columns exactly every 8 pixels:
![se30_deadColumn.jpg]( "se30_deadColumn.jpg")
Also, the sound was very weak. There was some capacitors leaks (not too serious). I replaced all capacitors and the sound went back, however, dead columns remains. I tried cleaned the ram modules. The mac comes with 2 set of 4 rams. I tried using only one of the two set in the first memory slot but this did not fix the problem.
I noticed a wire near the center of the board that bridges a chip pin with a another point:

I look around for some SE 30 pictures over the web and did not see such wire on other board.
Any idea is welcome!
