Asteroids Deluxe resurrection
ChadTower:
It's true...
Could someone answer this for me?
Question: Can I test it after unplugging all of the components from the power supply? As in, unplug the line after the fuse going to the panel, the marquee, the monitor, the board... I remember reading that you can't test a power supply that is not under load. What is the exact method I should be using? I picked up a multimeter and read the instructions, so I'm good with that... but as for some of the other things I'm a bit nervous.
ChadTower:
Added a big blue cap to my BobRoberts order. :angel:
ChadTower:
Bob cross shipped, so my cap and cap kit should be here 1/3... I'm working on this AR board now. Maybe my soldering frustration was that the post I was trying to desolder was a bitchy one. The other one came out not much sweat. I have the bitchy one out now, hopefully I didn't kill the trace.
ChadTower:
AR Rebuild is done. All caps have been replaced. I took a break after that first cap and did about two hours of practice desoldering on a modern, junky board. I got much better at removing things, removing tiny diodes and LEDs. After that, the AR caps were a piece of cake.
I didn't replace the other pieces in the rebuild kit... what I THINK is the voltage regultor, a diode, and some other little square thing I'm not sure of... not yet, anyway.
ChadTower:
The RAM that the self test was toning as bad is replaced... socketed, this time. Everything is plugged in now except the CP. I'm going to power it up in a couple of minutes.
