Can someone help me out here.
A friend has a Popeye upright that played fine, but the picture was squashed & small. Together we carefully removed the Sanyo EZ monitor, re-capped it (I've done a dozen capkits, including two EZs) and audio board with one of Bob Robert's deluxe kits. We verified each cap's rating and orientation, worked from the top of the list to the bottom.
Got it back together (with no spare screws left over) re-connected all the connectors, again making sure the molex connectors matched up. Plugged it in an *POP* (a small match-sized flame was visible briefly inside the board cage.)
We didn't touch the PCB set...or disconnect the edge connector.
Here's the list of known toasted components, on the CPU board:
- Q9: A1015 (was busted open, exposing metal inside the casing)
- R67: 51 ohm
- R66: 330 (guessing on the R number...it was the one that wasn't legible,
but the value was)
- R63: 100
- R62: 510K
- R64: 510K
- R65: 5.1K
R67 seemed to be the worst of the burn victims.
So WTF did we do wrong!? Uhg-uhg-uhg-uhg.....
Thanks,
Dave
