I've got a MiniScribe 8425SA where the C3 tantalum also nuked itself near a 0.5Ω resistor which cracked but is OK. The resistor that burned also looks like yours (yellow, bulbous, DALE) but is on the other side of the board, near the +12V input to the board. Sort of glad someone else had the problem and documented it. I'd gotten to about the same point but don't have a spare drive to check on (and the burned resistor is blocked by the Molex connector, so I have to desolder that in order to get to it.) I will check your reply to the other comment and see if that value is sane; at least I'll have a spare one on hand so I can feel a little safer snipping this one out! Thanks for the great video.
Thank you for sharing your experience with this SE. I am interested in seeing how to move files in and out the images in both emulators, blue scsi and scsi to sd. Thank you again.
23:43 I was moving that mouse over to the left SE as well. Almost like the passenger stomping the brake. 😂 It wasn’t working. Great video. Over the years I’ve passed up so many of these. My mother retired as a teacher and worked an after school program, watching kids who’s parent worked. Anyhow the janitor always offered her the old computers and tech they were throwing away, I always got first dibs. I wish I knew what I do now, and had a place to store them. Now I vision the day of finding one in the wild.
Oldest computer I still have from the wild. Laser486sx. 25th Anniversary StarTrek edition. It was still in the box but, sitting in front of a donation box in rain, destroyed it. But the pc had never been booted. The set of Rtc batteries were still in plastic. Boot first go, well after a week of drying. I absolutely love it. Don’t need no retro-Bright. It is the brightest white box I have. Thanks for taking up my time, and relieved some of this stress I have. Enjoyed every minute. Now back to life. God Bless.
Wow. I have been offered some school computers and they are running old intel CPUs that no one wants now. I wonder if they will become desired after another 15 years or so. :-P
@@RetroHackShack I’ve only seen the box in magazine advertising it. I actually had a choice when I stumbled app on it. There was also a 5150 siting with it but I was walking and had a couple more miles to go. So I picked up the laser. The poor thing probably has half gallon of water pour out of it. Nice workout though. It’s amazing what God puts in my path on stormy days. I’ve got some stories.
Hello from London, UK. Great videoWhat is the value of that burnt-out resistor please? I have a similar Miniscribe HD that has a burnt out resistor next to an SMD tantelum cap of 22 16V. It is clearly a common problem. Thanks.
Keep in mind this may be completely different on your drive, but this is the one I ordered. Make sure you test and replace the bad tantelum, too. www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/vishay-dale/CMF551R0000FKEA/3622037
@@RetroHackShack Wow! Thank you for the incredibly fast reply! I understand and accept that the component might be different. It is dead now anyway so it is not going to cause any more harm with the wrong resistor. Thank you once again!
Hi, Did you ever do the video for the BluScsi configurations. I'm just about to buy one to get my SE/30 up and running again and I think you will be a big help. Thanks
I’m pretty sure that “child” is like probably 50 years old and doesn’t give a shit if his files from 40 years ago are on the internet. There’s a reason your comment has no likes
Why does everyone record themselves saying one or two sentences, then cut and insert another recording of them saying another sentence or two, and rinse and repeat?

Cool reproduction disks. Where do you get those blank labels that are just the right size?
They are Avery 6490. amzn.to/3xGdero I haven't been able to to find the right size to fold over the back part of the disk, but these work pretty well.
I came across your video while working on an SE I just got/ It was super helpful showing how to get the drive out. Thanks!
Nice save on that hard drive! Meghan will be pleased! Forward that list to Santa for her.
Ha ha
It's good to see McLuivin's mac up and running. If I could give you two likes, I would for fixing that controller card.
Thanks
That Christmas list is awesome!
It really is!

@@RetroHackShack So far so good - I got the old resistor out. On this one, it is also a 1Ω - and it tests out as 25 to 26Ω out of circuit, yikes
That Miniscribe is not a brick! Yeah!

@@RetroHackShack that was my thinking back then. At the time they seemed worthless. Today, not so much.

Fun and informative, thank you. I appreciate all of your hard work on this. Impressive repair too.
Thanks
"S'blown" XD Also, you have the same multimeter as I do! (Apologies if I said that on an earlier video)

Jam in a Red Rock SCSI SSD. Or an external BlueSCSI.
I like seeing this! Why would anyone throw these vintage computers away?
I see so many going to scrap. It's sad for me.
@@RetroHackShack Why not fix them and sell them? People do want them.
If you ever get your hands on a color Mac try Crystal Quest on that. Also, Solarian II is pretty good, too…
I will
16:39 lol
I hope Meghann sees this at some point. xD
Hi, Did you ever do the video for the BluScsi configurations. I'm just about to buy one to get my SE/30 up and running again and I think you will be a big help. Thanks
I'm working on another Mac video so I might be able to do that soon.
what about a SCSILVD to SATA adapter and copy every program onto a SATA SSD possibly a 512GB SSD.
Hey can you help me with a repair? The screen is glitched.
great job i like you and penney and of course retro comupters and game consoles....
Penny says thanks!
@@RetroHackShack 😀
5:00 - confirmed, not a brick, even if it acts like one...
lol and at ~8:15, right after pcbway advert, stuff from jlcpcb on the bench xD sorry, I couldnt help but notice. keep up the great work tho man!
YOU CAN JUST GO TO EWASTE AND TAKE STUFF HOME??? Why isn't this possible in the Netherlands... it sucks :[
Why take off the Velcro?
I can always put more Velcro on 😁
wtf? the computer was obviously used by a child, could you maybe not publish the contents of their personal life in your UA-cam video?
