While I wait for parts for my Moon Patrol monitor, I thought I'd tackle the power supply.
Before doing any work to it, other than blowing the dirt off and reseating connectors, all 3 LEDs are lit, and I'm getting 5.08v and 15.35v on the output connector. I'm getting 4.84v and 13.80v on the PCB edge connector.
Is the 5v a little low and the 12v a little high on the P/S? Also, the drop in voltage from the P/S to the PCB seems a bit high to me. You? Would that point to bad connectors?
I'm going to replace all the connectors and headers on the P/S, but I think I should probably install a new edge connector for the PCB. It seems a bit loose.
Any suggestions on where to buy and what to buy for a replacement edge connector?
Any other suggestions are also welcome.
Thanks,
tc
