Editing Macintosh SE Service Source

The '''Macintosh SE''' volume of Apple's ''Service Source'' is a '''126-page''' service manual covering the Macintosh SE. The PDF was distilled on '''13 December 1995'''.

''Service Source'' volumes are '''module-level''' documents. They give Apple's own specifications, symptom charts, take-apart procedures and module part numbers, but they do '''not''' carry schematics, board-level parts lists or component values, so they cannot be used to source a capacitor table. Where a figure below is quoted, it is quoted as Apple printed it.

* '''Additional Procedures''' &mdash; Battery Verification (pdf p. 97), Battery Replacement (pdf p. 99), Chassis Tab Modification (pdf p. 104), Identifying SE Logic Boards (pdf p. 106)
* '''Adjustments''' &mdash; Yoke (pdf p. 113), Video (pdf p. 119)

== Notable content ==
Two procedures in ''Additional Procedures'' are specific to this machine and are easy to miss: '''Chassis Tab Modification''' and '''Identifying SE Logic Boards'''. Apple's battery verification for the SE is done with the cover off, '''the CRT discharged''' and the logic board removed.

== What this manual does not contain ==
* No schematic, no parts list, no component values. The analogue board and power supply are treated as one replaceable module.
* There is '''no voltage adjustment''' &mdash; the Adjustments chapter is Yoke and Video only. The "adjust R56 for +5&nbsp;V" procedure that circulates for compact Macs belongs to the 128K/512K/Plus power/sweep board and does not exist here.

''This machine contains a high-vacuum picture tube and a live analogue board. Follow [[CRT Discharge Procedure]] before working inside one.''
