A buddy of mine picked up 2 Pole Positions. One Pole Position clicks on and off, and one of the orange wires on the power brick smoke out and burn. The other one just turns on and eventually the fan speeds up and becomes loud. Nothing is displayed on the screens. I am going to test the boards in my machine today to see if they work.
So on the first Pole Position, I am assuming the transformer is toast. If the boards turn out good, I guess what I would like to try would be to run a switcher in the one that doesnt smoke out. Would that work? What should I do to make at least 1, if not both Pole Positions work reliably?
