Hold the positive probe of the voltmeter to the positive end of the battery and the negative probe to the negative end of the battery. If the battery voltage is below 2.8 volts, replace the battery. Refer to “Battery Replacement” in this chapter.
Additional Procedures Battery Replacement - 3 Battery Battery Replacement Before you begin, • Remove the cover • Discharge the CRT • Remove the logic board If handled or discarded improperly, the lithium battery in the Macintosh SE/30 could explode. Review battery handling and disposal instructions in Bulletins/ Safety.
Additional Procedures Battery Replacement - 4 Caution: Never use a grounding wriststrap until after discharging the CRT.
Additional Procedures Battery Replacement - 5 Soldered Battery 1 2 Using wire clippers, cut the battery leads at both ends of the battery. Cut the leads as close to the logic board as you can without touching the board. Return the battery to Apple for proper disposal. For battery packaging and labeling information, refer to the instructions in Bulletins/Safety.
Additional Procedures Battery Replacement - 6 Battery in a Battery Holder 1 2 Pull the battery out of the battery holder. Return the battery to Apple for proper disposal. For battery packaging and labeling information, refer to the instructions in Bulletins/Safety.
Additional Procedures Battery Replacement - 7 Replacement Note: When replacing the new battery, orient it so that the end marked “+” matches the “+” on the logic board. Replacement Note: On solder-type logic boards, insert the leads of the new battery into the extra set of mounting holes just inside the original mounting holes.
Additional Procedures Chassis Tab Modification - 8 Chassis Tab Modification Before you begin, remove the cover. Note: The chassis on some Macintosh SE computers has protruding tabs that may interfere with the installation of some thirdparty cards. If you encounter this problem, perform the chassis tab modification procedure.
Additional Procedures Chassis Tab Modification - 9 Using pliers, bend the tab nearest the rear of the chassis until the tab is flush with the side panel.
Additional Procedures Identifying SE Logic Boards - 10 Battery Identifying SE Logic Boards Before you begin, • Remove the cover • Discharge the CRT • Remove the logic board IWM/SWIM Chip
Additional Procedures Identifying SE Logic Boards - 11 Two logic boards are available as exchange modules for the Macintosh SE. If you are replacing the logic board of an SE that was originally shipped with a 1.4 MB SuperDrive, use logic board 661-0536. If you are replacing the logic board of an SE that was originally shipped with an 800K floppy drive, or an SE that has been upgraded to use a 1.4 MB SuperDrive, use replacement logic board 661-0526.
Additional Procedures Identifying SE Logic Boards - 12 Follow these guidelines to help identify the correct exchange module: • If the customer’s battery is installed in a battery holder, use replacement logic board 661-0536. • If the customer’s battery is soldered to the logic board, check the part number on the customer’s disk controller chip. (See the following procedure.
Additional Procedures Identifying SE Logic Boards - 13 • If the disk controller is an IWM chip (the part number is not 3440062), use replacement logic board 661-0526. • If the disk controller is a SWIM chip (part number 344-0062), use replacement logic board 661-0526 and swap the customer’s SWIM chip and ROM chips for the IWM chip and ROM chips on the replacement board. (See the following procedure.
Additional Procedures Identifying SE Logic Boards - 14 Note: Failure to transfer the customer’s SWIM chip and upgraded ROM chips to the replacement logic board will prevent a 1.4 MB SuperDrive from using high-density media.
Additional Procedures Identifying SE Logic Boards - 15 • Low ROM (3420702) at D7 2 Note: The notch at one end of the SWIM chip and each ROM chip must face toward the RAM SIMMs. Return the ROMs and IWM chip to Apple on the faulty logic board.
