I was soooooo close, or so I thought.
I bought a cocktail about a year and a half ago - advertised as a Sky Shark - turns out to be a real nice DK Jr. Anyways.... when they were loading it they whacked the 5V ?Earth Fuse? (never heard of that one but I know what/where it is now!) and broke both the leads off of it. I thought it was going to be an easy fix. Yeah, right.
So I dig into it tonight. I pull the power supply out and manage to get to the fuse case. I solder both leads back on (I hope I got it right - both are white and both were disconnected.) I put everything back together and fired it up. Nothing. Well, not exactly.
I can see that the monitor is getting power. When I turn the lights off there is a white glow, and when I power down the scan lines collapse. So my thoughts are that the board isn't getting any power.
1) How do I test the connector for power? (I can't find a DK Jr. cocktail manual so if you know what is what or if the pin out on the PCB connector is the same for the UR please someone let me know)
2) Could I have dicked up the re-solder or crossed wires? No burning - no smell - monitor is getting juice, or so it seems. Your thoughts??????????
