I measured       pins 5-3, was +5 V, pins 5-7 was -12 V, pins 5-1 was +5 V and when I measured       pins 5-4 I got +12 V but power went off. Like Thomas I guess that at the first       time after 10 years when I booted my 8595 it starts displaying few checkpoints       and went power off.        Any guesses what caused a relay to go off?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
