Hi Jammie,

Thanks for the suggestion, however I think the PSU is fine. I read 5.04v on yellow, 12.3v on orange and -11.89v on violet coming off the PSU harness at the CPU PCB.

sounds like you have lost the 5v connection

the lcd uses 5v the cf card reader uses 5v and the floppy uses 5v

i would check the 5v rail on the psu

Hi all,

Now it's my turn\u2026 I'm sad to report that my beloved Emax SE Rack which I upgraded to SCSI and slim floppy is no longer booting.

Symptoms are: PSU voltages look good at the drive power connector. All LEDs on the front panel come on at power-on except load and enter. No LCD display and no floppy or CF reader activity. :-(

I have re-seated all cables but have not yet removed and re-seated any socketed ICs. It has just been sitting in a rack, so nothing has been jostled.

Any suggestions on where to start?

-Dave

p.s. even more frustrating: I missed out on a $60 working Emax SE on a local Craig's list ad which posted the day before I discovered my Emax was dead. :-(
