Re: HELP with hot problm...FIXED!!!!

2005-08-13 by markfrancombe

FIXED IT!!
Well PSU is fixed! What I did.. advice to idiots like me.. I had 
decided that I would NOT be using the COM module in my refurbish (so 
anyone wants it???) and the PSU had connection to this module both 
for power AND LED's.. I wondered if that completed a circuit and 
removed the LED's from the COM and put back (its marked on the 
schematic)on the PSU. BUt no.. it DIDNT WORK.. but now I had a 
visual indication of which bit worked and which bit didnt cos I had 
+15 Led ON and +5 LED ON, but no -15. SO I tried the old and tested 
method of... go over the circuit and heat up EVERY solder joint and 
let go when wet. SURE ENOUGH!!! I found a joint that looked a little 
cracked (must've cracked when I dismantled this.../) and BING! on 
comes LED!

I plugged in the LFO and BING BING BING THree happy flashing LEDS!

HURRAH for me... Back on track finally!

cheers for all that helped/// wish I could delete this whole 
thread... I feel I am now imortalised as a synthewanker...


cheers
