i got a pacman mini,it was supposed to be working (bought off ebay,the pics showed it working) anyways,i got it today,after it had been in a van for 3-4 days and when i got it (this morning) i left it and didnt power on as i knew it was bad to,it was all sweaty.

so i decided to strip it down and clean it as it was manky.

i only had the transformer assembly in the cab with the harness and this evening i decide to power it on,i metered the transfomer and found i was getting nothing.so i got my tester screwdriver out,tested the power to interlock and traced the prob to the on/off switch it was broke so it was sstuck in switched off posistion.i changed it,gets power at the transformer.

prob is,i get no ouput voltages,i think everything reads like 2vdc out.

i get 240vac in as i am on uk power.

thing is i see that the markings on the transformers are american,its 115v in not 240.

apparently its uk cab,i seen pics on ebay of the cab powered up,it just had garbage onscreen and it was wired with uk plug.

so,i get 240vac into the transformer that powers boards etc,i get 240 going to the monitor transformer from the main transformer but,i get no output on both transformers?

anyone got an idea?

i assume i am supposed to be tested outputs as dc?

thanks.

sorted

just for info,i resolved the problem.

i reflowed and added more fresh solder to the output lugs and all was fine then.
