Re: A-188-1 BBD 4096 problem (probably just me)

2008-08-17 by selfoscillate

sadly i don't own the service manual for the a188/1 yet,
so i cannot give you an advice how to do specific tests.
to be honest, i think you have to send the module in for
repair, as i have no idea what could be the problem.

dieter is on holidays right now, so we cannot ask him
until end of next week, maybe he as a better idea than me.

sorry and best wishes

ingo
