Re: [crumar] Re: Bit One Repair

2006-08-12 by Stefan Rinass

Hi,

I don\ufffdt have a Bit One, but check Pin 4 of the TL072 against ground and
even Pin7 against ground. Me thinks that the TL gets maybe ground onto
Pin4 or Pin7, or some voltages are missing (Pin 4 should have a negative
voltage, pin7 a positive, -maximum- at +/-18 Volts!) and that causes the
overheat. Check for some chips called 7805/78L05 /
7812/78L12/7815/78L15/7905/7912/7915 and measure their outputs. Those
componets have three pins and usually a heatsink installed. Left pin ist
the VCC input, middle is usually ground, right pin is the output. A 7805
should output a fixed voltage of 5 Volts, a 7905 a -negative- voltage of
5 volts, a 7812=12 Volts positive etc. Same goes to the other "78" and
"79"-Chips. Even check their middle pin against case ground, maybe they
get from somewhere voltage where they shouldn\ufffdt.

Greetings
Stef
