The Macintosh SE/30 is probably one of the most popular of the original compact Macs. Unfortunately they are one of the many victims of leaky surface mount electrolytic capacitors. If you own an SE/30, and it hasn’t been recapped, GET IT DONE! Don’t assume that yours will somehow be immune. All Mac SE/30s have leaky capacitors, and the longer they are left leaking, the greater chance that they will get damaged beyond repair.
