Re: crumar bit 01 problems

2010-10-11 by a33e

Hi,

sorry to bother with this again. But if anyone of you would know anything that might help in this topic i would be extremely grateful.

Like where to get schematics for Bit-01 or any idea about what capacitors to replace from which circuit board?
