      From: nelsonse48@gmail.com              Update: The hard part in repairing power supply was desoldering the old       bulging capacitor but with patience it finally popped out. Soldering new       capacitor (1000uF, 16V like the old one) onto board was easier. No burned       fingers yet. The rebuilt power        supply booted up the GS. It lasted a few minutes and then died. Examining       the power supply it was the new capacitor that was bulging - failed. No       smoke, burning signs or bad odor. But, to misuse a cliche, what is the 'magic       smoke' telling me? Should        I replace the cap and try again? Thanks.               --Steven              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
