      From: slavotinek@gmail.com              Yep, too many variables - the PSU itself, planar, op panel cable, op       panel assy.              So let's test the parts one by one, starting with the PSU:              Unplug the line cord, disconnect all disk drive Molex connectors, and       swing the PSU out (or remove it completely for better access). Then       short pins 1 and 2 on the PSU planar connector with a piece of wire and       plug the line cord back in. The PSU should start. If it does, verify all       DC voltages and the Power Good signal. If it doesn't power on, the PSU       is faulty.              Based on the described behavior, it may be just bad caps. Be careful if       you are gonna recap the PSU - the caps may hold a charge for quite some       time! There were quite a few different PSU models used in these       machines, and many of them are quite complex with multi-board       construction... this isn't a cheapo klone PSU.              On 06.01.2023 22:56, Louis Ohland wrote:       > I suggested shorting 1,2 on the PSU's connector to totally eliminate       > issues on the op-panel PCB.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
