My 6.3v supply was bad (it was about 3.6v) so I replaced BR1 and now it's running around 7.2-7.3. Is that within tolerance? I don't want it to run too hot if it will cause a problem.
Also, the BR I got isn't as tall as the original. It's the one below from great plains (gbpc3504w). In order for it to make proper contact with the heat sink I just left a gap between the BR and the PCB. Does that sound ok? Or do I have the wrong part?
FWIW this is running in a mr+mrs pacman.
